Amid Manchester City and Arsenal interest, Juventus are set to lock down 16-year-old striking sensation Moise Kean.

Nicknamed the ‘new Mario Balotelli’ – and represented by the same agent, Mino Raiola – he was born in Italy from Ivorian parents.

Despite only being 16 years old, he has already been promoted to the senior squad and sat on the bench for several Serie A and Champions League games.

This season he scored five goals in as many matches between the Primavera tournament and the UEFA Youth League.

Arsenal and Manchester City are among those who have shown interest in the hitman, who due to the rules in Italy cannot yet sign a professional contract.

According to the Corriere dello Sport newspaper, Raiola has agreed not to let another club poach Kean and he will sign a professional deal with Juventus in January.

The player turns 17 on February 28 and is expected to make his Serie A debut soon, as Paulo Dybala is out injured for another three weeks.
