Juventus legend regrets turning down Arsenal

Juventus legend Giorgio Chiellini has revealed that he regrets turning down Arsenal when they attempted to sign him at the age of 16. The 36-year-old, who joined Juve back in 2005, has won nine Serie A titles and four Coppa Italia trophies, as well as has reached the final of the Champions League twice. In an interview with French magazine So Foot, Chiellini said: "In hindsight, I was a fool to decline that offer. I was 16, I played in Serie C, I got a huge offer. "I didn't feel ready. If I had accepted, it would have given the impression of betraying Livorno." Chiellini is currently into his 16th season with Juventus, but remained a player of interest for Arsenal long after their failed attempts to recruit him as a teenager.
