Juventus keen on Lucas Tousart

Italian daily newspaper La Stampa has suggested that Serie A champions Juventus are hot on the trail of Lyon starlet Lucas Tousart.

The 20-year-old had staked a claim for a starting berth at Parc OL last term, before developing into an important member of the squad after Corentin Tolisso was sold to Bayern Munich.

After missing out on the new Bavarians midfielder, Juventus have now set their sights on Lucas Tousart and they are determined to bring him to Turin at the earliest opportunity.

Having observed his performances over the last few months, the Bianconeri are convinced he can become a good addition to the squad in Turin.

Juventus are expected to step up their interest in the coming weeks, but persuading Lyon to sell will be no easy task.
