Empoli president confirms Juventus have agreement to sign starlet

Empoli president confirms Juventus have agreement to sign starlet

Empoli president Fabrizio Corsi has spoken to TMW about the rumours linking Ivorian midfielder Hamed Traore with a switch to Juventus; confirming that, in fact, an agreement has been made and just the official finishing touches are required before he becomes a Juventus player.

"The deal with Juventus is in the pipeline, there are only signatures but there is an agreement and everything is defined. In January he was already a boy of great potential but the last five months have given us a player of important perspective. For top teams, he is a complementary footballer, but I believe he is destined for a very important career because today he is at 70-80% of his technical and physical qualities, but he has an extraordinary level of intelligence."
