Juventus monitoring Genoa’s Jeff Ekhator

Juventus have identified Genoa’s Jeff Ekhator as a target for the future, with the Bianconeri set to intensify their scouting of the youngster during the upcoming Serie A clash between the two sides.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus intend to keep a close eye on the forward as they evaluate a potential summer move. While the technical staff in Turin believe Ekhator is not yet ready for immediate first-team football at a club of Juve’s stature, he is regarded as a genuine hope for the future. Internal projections at the Allianz Stadium suggest the player has the ceiling to become a mainstay for the Italian national team by the 2030 World Cup.

To beat growing competition, Juventus are keen to make an early move to secure his signatur. The plan would involve signing the teenager and potentially allowing him to continue his development elsewhere or within the Next Gen setup, ensuring they have locked down one of the most promising profiles in the peninsula before his market value sky-rockets.
