Albin 'Ibra' Ekdal Set To Sign For Juve Today
According to daily Sports newspaper Tuttosport, Juventus are set to officially capture the young Swedish sensation Albin Ekdal today.
There were reports yesterday that the deal was close to being sealed, and this morning's newspapers seem to back that up.
Albin Ekdal reportedly arrived in Turin late last night at around 10.30 pm, and is preparing for his medical, which will be carried out this morning.
If everything goes as planned, the 18-year-old attacking midfielder will officially become a Juventus player, even though he will remain in Sweden until May in order to finish his studies.
Ekdal had to go under the knife for a foot injury, but this has been delayed, as the Bianconeri doctors want to make the final decision on whether he should have surgery or not.
The talented Swedish player will be loaned out to another Serie A team next year, with the most likely candidate being Empoli, who have already been the 'womb' for other Juventus players, including wonder kid Sebastian Giovinco.
The Old Lady managed to beat other big European teams for the signature of this player, including Inter, Arsenal, Ajax and PSV Eindhoven.
