Italian Giants Juventus Set To Part Company With Promising Nigerian Striker

Italian Serie A powerhouse Juventus are set to part company with promising Nigerian striker King Udoh before the close of the winter transfer market, as per reports.

Tuttomercatoweb has reported that Serie C outfit Fano are on the brink of announcing the signing of Udoh, who is also in the possession of an Italian passport.

The 20-year-old was on the books of third-tier Fermana on loan in the first half of the season but has not made a single appearance for the club to date.

As Udoh has yet to break into the first team of Juventus, they have declared him surplus to requirements and are seeking an outright sale instead of a loan deal.

So much was expected from the youngster after starring for the Bianconeri in the UEFA Youth League, where he made seven appearances.

Udoh has also slipped out of reckoning despite scoring 13 goals for Juventus's youth team in the Primavera and has been shipped out on loan to Lanciano and Pontedera in recent seasons.

His contract with the Italian champions runs out at the end of next season.
