Juventus Set Sights On Pelle

Graziano Pelle is report ably going to be the subject of a bid from Italian giants Juventus in the January transfer wndow.

Juventus might be nicknamed the Old Lady and can genuinely claim to be giants of Italian football, but at the moment they are not one of the top sides, currently they lie 7th in the table after 12 games and have only just registered back to back wins in the season.

Pelle is finally seen as a top striker in his home country and has scored 3 goals in 7 games during the Azurri's Euro qualifying campaign, including some vital winners.

Now Juventus are believed to be eyeing up a bid for him in the January transfer window in a bid to raise their status in Serie A.

However Ronald Koeman will be keen to hang on to his star striker having recently described him as one of the best strikers in the Premier League after the immaculately haired Italian followed up his best game ever for Saints at home to Swansea with an even better one at Chelsea and he is integral to the way that Saints play.
