Italian giants battle for Udinese wonderkid

A host of Italy’s top clubs are showing interest in Udinese goalkeeper Simone Scuffet, reports Tuttosport.

The 17-year-old was handed his senior debut this season as Zeljko Brkic and Ivan Kelava were sidelined, and he has impressed at the start of his professional career.

A string of excellent performances saw Scuffet establish himself as a first choice keeper at Friuli and he produced a stunning performance as Udinese held Inter Milan to a goalless draw in midweek.

As a result, the youngster is now being linked with a big club move, and Tuttosport understands the likes of Juventus, Roma and Inter Milan are all keen.

Scuffet has shown incredible maturity in his nine league appearances for the Zebrette this term and the club now face a real battle on their hands in an attempt to ward off interest for his services.

The youngster will be in the starting line-up when Udinese host Catania, where Friulani are 8/11 to claim maximum points.
