Juventus step up chase for Thomas Meunier

Italian giants Juventus are hot on the trail of Paris Saint-Germain full-back Thomas Meunier, according to Tuttosport.

The Bianconeri are in the market for a new right-sided defender as they plan to offload Stephan Lichtsteiner, with summer recruit Mattia De Sciglio yet to prove his worth.

Tuttosport claims that PSG defender Thomas Meunier has emerged as their top target, and Juventus scouts watched the 26-year-old in the 2018 World Cup qualifier between Bosnia-Herzegovina and Belgium.

As that is usually the case, the right-back was in excellent form on the night, scoring and assisting in a 4-3 triumph.

With amazing 5 goals and 7 assists in seven World Cup qualifiers, Meunier is by far the most productive defender on the road to Russia.

Considering that he is currently playing second fiddle to Dani Alves at Parc des Princes, a move to Juventus may appeal to him.
