Juventus looking at Greek starlet

Italian champions Juventus are keeping close tabs on Olympiakos defender Panagiotis Retsos, according to Bild.

The Bianconeri have plans to rejuvenate their ageing defence and they are believed to be hot on the trail of the 18-year-old centre-back.

Retsos has impressed in his maiden Greek Superleague season, making a total of 16 appearances for the league leaders, while starting 8 matches in club’s Europa League campaign.

His excellent performances clearly did not go unnoticed as both Juventus and Borussia M’gladbach are keen on his services.

Premier League giants Arsenal scouted the youngster back in November last year and they too could make a move in the coming months.

Operating mainly as a centre-back, Retsos can also play at left-back and in the middle of the park, and he has represented the Greece national team at various youth levels.
