Joshua Zirkzee linked with shock Juventus move

Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee could make a shock move to Juventus in the winter transfer window, according to Calciomercato.

The Netherlands international joined the Red Devils from Bologna this summer and he has had a frustrating start to his career.

The Dutchman scored on his debut off the bench and he has since missed plenty of clear-cut chances for the Mancunian giants.

It is now reported that the Bianconeri are planning to make a surprise move for Zirkzee under the recommendation of Thiago Motta.

Motta worked together with Zirkzee during their time at Bologna and he has reportedly urged the Turin giants to secure his services.

The Bianconeri have no plans to pay a transfer fee for Zirkzee and they are likely to propose a direct swap deal with Dusan Vlahovic.

Vlahovic has failed to make a huge impression for the Serie A outfit and he is reportedly open to the prospect of moving to England.
