Juventus set to sign Kwadwo Asamoah replacement during Afcon campaign

Italian Serie A giants Juventus look set to sign a replacement for influential Ghana midfielder who could join the Black Stars for the 2017 Afcon campaign in next month.

The Old Ladies could sign two midfielders in January as they have Draxler, Matic and Dahoud on their wishlist.

The Gazzetta dello Sport claim, in fact, that the Bianconeri could recruit not one, but two midfielders.

Beyond Franck Kessie', the Old Lady needs someone else, seeing at the 19-year-old will be representing the Ivory Coast in the upcoming African Cup of Nations, alongside fellow midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah and Mario Lemina.

Coach Allegri has since the departure of Paul Pogba been looking for a muscular midfielder, and the likes of Corentin Tolisso, Riechedly Bazoer, Mahmoud Dahoud and Steven N'Zonzi have all been named by the Italian press.

Juventus have also been linked with Julian Draxler and Leon Goretzka, while Oscar and Nemanja Matic from Chelsea are also linked with a move to Turin.
