Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri remained tightlipped over reports linking him with Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal job.

Wenger is coming under increasing pressure to step aside in the summer, with the Gunners saying this week that a decision between the club and the manager will be made at the ned of the season.

Allegri is one of a number of coaches to be heavily linked with the position should Wenger end his 20-year reign.

The Italian has won the Serie A title twice since replacing Antonio Conte as Juventus boss in 2014, in addition to guiding AC Milan to the title in 2010-11.

Allegri teased reporters following Juve’s 4-1 win over Palermo on Friday night.

“How’s my English?” he asked.

“I started learning before Milan, now I’ve left it. They say I’ll go to Arsenal? You all say that, I just listen.”
