Justin Oboavwoduo set to join Juventus as deal agreed

Manchester City attacking sensation Justin Oboavwoduo is all set to join Italian giants Juventus, as a deal has been agreed.

The biggest clubs in Europe are constantly on the lookout for young players with massive potential. They want to snap up the best talent before multiple top clubs enter into a bidding war.

Juventus seem to have done exactly as they have agreed a deal with Manchester City to sign their attacking sensation, Justin Oboavwoduo, as per a report from Fabrizio Romano.

Oboavwoduo has been a part of the City setup since his childhood days. He joined their academy as an eight-year-old and has come up the ranks at a pace. At the age of 19, he is currently a part of their Under-21 team.

He has been involved in a total of 50 matches for the Under-21s and has contributed towards 24 goals. His impressive performances haven’t gone unnoticed. Despite his sensational work at the youth level, Pep Guardiola has yet to hand him his professional debut.

As a result, multiple top clubs have been looking to prise the 19-year-old striker away from the Manchester-based club. Even the teenager seems interested in a move away, as he wants to play regular first-team football.

Juventus have struck a deal for Oboavwoduo

Juventus were keen on signing the teenager and have agreed terms with Manchester City for the 2006-born talent. The Old Lady have been keeping tabs on Oboavwoduo for some time. They feel he could become one of their mainstays in the long run.

As a result, the Turin-based outfit have decided to invest in him. While he prefers playing as a striker, the 19-year-old is comfortable enough to feature anywhere in attack. Juventus believe in his potential and seem to have promised him a quicker route to their first team.

For now, he will start with their Under-23 project, but given his massive potential, it won’t be much of a surprise if he ends up playing first-team football before the end of the year.
