Sky Sport Italia reports Juventus directors Cristiano Giuntoli and Giovanni Manna were in London on Monday to watch Pierre-Emile Højbjerg in Tottenham-Chelsea, but the Bianconeri are also interested in Arsenal’s Thomas Partey and Manchester City’s Kalvin Phillips.
Juventus are planning to buy a new central midfielder in January following the suspensions of Paul Pogba and Nicolò Fagioli.
Højbjerg is a long-time target of the Bianconeri and according to Sky Sport Italia, Giuntoli and Manna watched the Denmark international in action during Tottenham’s 4-1 loss against Chelsea on Monday.
Højbjerg is not a regular starter in North London but was introduced during the break at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after Cristian Romero had seen a red card.
The 28-year-old is not Juventus’ only target in central midfield. Sky Sport confirms Arsenal’s Thomas Partey and Manchester City’s Kalvin Phillips are also on the Old Lady’s radars.
According to the report, Tottenham value Højbjerg at €30m, but Juventus seem interested in an initial loan move.
Likewise, it remains to be seen if Arsenal and Manchester City will allow their players to move to Turin on a temporary transfer, but Phillips is ready to leave Pep Guardiola’s side in January to get more playing time.
