Yeah he can be, the few swedish football experts who seen him say he is quite a top class talent in basic qualities. So even if it may not work out, he wont be just another primavera, but prolly be connected to the A team a bit, or loaned out to a Serie A club.
We will probably see him in emirates cup for the first time.

Some media outside Sweden compare him to Zlatan, thats bullshit.
I have seen him play several times. It's hard to compare him with someone. But he plays very mature for his age. He has good passes and is good at defending.
I saw him in a u-21 match between his team and a team from my city. It's was easy to see that he was very talented. He owned the midfield.
A agent here in Sweden ( don't remember his name) said in a newspaper that Albin Ekdal was on of the most promising talents he ever seen. He also said he has seen C.Ronaldo in a tournement when he was 16, He said the top the talents for him was C.ronaldo,Owen,Ekdal (that he has seen live).
The negative thing about him is that they say he is a overclass snobb that think he is so special.
He is famous in girly magezines for his look, and a magezine here in sweden rated him as Swedens sexiest man.

No... he is not even a typical offensive player. He is more of a two-way midfielder that operates from the centre of the field. I don't see him on the flank, no.
And besides, "keeping" Ekdal in the first team for this season is completely out of the question, imo. He won't be seeing first team football for Juve for at least one year, and he would have to surprise everyone massively in that year to even be considered. I mean, at the point where he is now, I would be surprised if he was a star at Primavera.
BUT! The talent is surely there and he would be further in his career already if he wasn't so unlucky with injuries. Let's hope he makes the most of his talent and that he turns out a great player in a few years.

It is said by Albin's agent Martin Klette that he is guaranteed to train with the first team but play with the Primavera during his first year at the club. After that year, he is too old for Primavera and it is then that Juve will make the decision to either loan him out or keep him.
Albin will join Juventus pre season at the 4:th of July.
