Juventus close on Colombian starlet

Italian daily newspaper Tuttosport has suggested that Serie A champions Juventus are on the verge of signing Colombian full-back Andres Felipe Tello Munoz.

The Bianconeri have worked on the deal taking the 18-year-old to Turin in secret and they seem to have reached an agreement with Envigado.

It only remains to be seen whether the talented footballer will be arriving in January or at the end of the season.

Tello will initially be added to the youth squad with a view of promoting him to the first team set-up once he adapts to the new surroundings.

The right-sided full-back has come through the youth ranks at Envigado and has so far made 16 starts in the league, scoring one goal in the process.

Tello has been likened to Fiorentina winger Juan Guillermo Cuadrado for his style of play, and having failed to sign the Viola star, the Bianconeri apparently decided for the next best thing.
