Juventus goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny admits Mattia Perin is “a very strong goalkeeper” but “I think I’m ahead”.
The Pole played backup to Gianluigi Buffon last season, but still played 17 Serie A games for the Bianconeri.
Buffon has now departed for Paris Saint-Germain, so Perin has been brought in from Genoa to challenge the 28-year-old for the starting shirt.
“He’s a very strong goalkeeper,” Szczesny admitted, speaking to Sky.

“Mattia is the best of the young Italian goalkeepers. I think I’m still ahead, but I can see he’s ready to play.”
