Promising Nigerian striker King Udoh has been promoted by Italian champions Juventus ahead of the forthcoming season.

The Bianconeri have reported on their official website that the Reggio Emilia-born youngster is training with the Team B.

Having said that, there is a possibility that King Udoh will be loaned out by the Serie A powerhouse before the close of the summer transfer window, as the club permitted several foreign and Italian clubs to watch Thursday's training session.

The former A.C. Reggiana youth-teamer previously enjoyed loan spells at Lanciano and Pontedera.

The 19-year-old Udoh joined Juventus in 2011 and has yet to make his competitive debut for the first-team.
