galleria zoom Juventus have identified the signing of a centre forward as one of their primary objectives in the summer transfer market.
Recent reports emanating from Italy suggest that Toulouse hitman Elmander has jumped to the front of the queue of possible targets.
In an interview with Tuttosport, the Swedish international revealed his wish to make the move to Turin.
"I want to join a great team and I'm ready for Italy. I've dreamed of playing for Juventus since I was a child,” he declared.
"My strongest side is my right, I score a lot with my head but I can improve.
"My inspiration is Marco van Basten, but my role models were close to home because my father and my grandfather played in the Swedish league."
Elmander also commented on Juve’s signing of fellow Swede Olof Mellberg, who will join the Old Lady in the summer on a Bosman transfer from Aston Villa.
"Mellberg is a Viking who is as hard as a rock and with the mentality of a boxer. He is a great market coup for the Bianconeri," concluded the striker.
