Manchester City Academy striker set for Juventus transfer

Fabrizio Romano reports that Manchester City Academy striker Justin Oboavwoduo, 19, is set to join Juventus, initially playing for their NextGen squad.

Manchester City talent Oboavwoduo is set to join Juventus, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

Oboavwoduo has scored six goals and provided five assists in 18 appearances across all competitions this season, including five goals in six Premier League 2 games.

The 19-year-old made his England U20 debut this past September.

According to Romano, Oboavwoduo will initially join Juventus’ NextGen squad playing in Italy’s third division, Serie C.

Oboavwoduo is the second deal completed by Juventus for their second team in recent days, after Adin Ličina from Bayern Munich.

Juventus have been quite busy in the final days of the winter transfer window, having also welcomed reinforcement for their first team.

Ex-Sassuolo and Atalanta winger Jeremie Boga, in fact, landed in Turin on Sunday to undergo medical tests with the Serie A giants.
