Juventus Close on Anzhi Striker Lacina Traore

Italian Serie A champions Juventus are set to sign Anzhi striker and Ivorian international Lacina Traore who is to join in January according to reports.


It is believed that the Liverpool target will join Juventus in a 14.5 million euro deal with the Dinamo Moscow coach stating that a deal has been agreed upon.

Traore shows a tremendous presence on field with the 23 year old standing at just over 2m in height or around 6ft 8in so obviously he is an aerial threat.

Juventus have already made the acquisitions of Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente so the signing of Traore could mean the end of Fabio Quagliarella's Juve career.

Traore seems very likely to join the likes of Eto'o, Willian, Samba, Diarra, Denisov and also Kokorin who have left due to a shortage in money from the owner.
