Zigic: Juve want me


Racing Santander striker Nikola Zigic has confirmed Juventus's interest in him as a possible replacement for David Trezeguet. With the French international likely to leave in the summer, the giant Serbian has been targeted to spearhead the Juve attack on their return to Serie A.

Didier Deschamps' side are top of the second tier despite a points deduction following last season's enforced relegation, and are already planning for next season.

"Juventus? Yes, I am aware of the fact they are following me," said Zigic. "Am I pleased? Who wouldn't want to play at Juve?"

Zigic has scored nine times in 19 Liga outings this term for Racing, while his hold-up play and all-round ability have contributed to the northern Spanish side's mid-table status.

Standing a colossal 2.02m, Zigic is even taller than another reported Juve target, Peter Crouch.:lick:

The England man has today been linked with Internazionale, a day after a relatively rare start for Liverpool was cut short by a broken nose.

Zigic: ‘Juve want me, I’m ready to say yes’ - Corriere Dello Sport
Hmm. I haven't been able to see Zigic play since last season, and he did not strike me as some sort of miracle worker up top. If we obtain such a weapon we should also find somebody a little more consistent with the freekicks and corners because two such players are "complementary goods."
