Pochettino: ‘Delighted to play for Juve’
Tomas Pochettino has spoken of his joy as the Argentinian youngster stands on the verge of completing a move to Juventus.
The Boca Juniors midfielder is almost certain to move to the Bianconeri in January, with a loan move to Sassuolo being mooted to help the young playmaker settle in Serie A.
“I haven’t signed yet, but I’ll do a medical tomorrow then go back to Argentina,” Pochettino revealed in an interview with Calciomercato.
“I’m delighted by the opportunity to play for Juve, it’s a club I really like. They’re a very important club in Italy and in Europe.
“Coming to Serie A is a dream for all Argentinians, I’ve watched a lot of Serie A games. I’m learning the language, I’ve been studying for over a month.”
The 18-year-old was spotted by Bianconero scouts while playing at a youth tournament in South Africa, but the Boca player reveals he almost didn’t make the tournament, while assessing his skills as well as his prospective new teammates.
“I had a groin injury, I almost didn’t go [to the tournament].

“During the tournament Juve contacted my agent, he told me when I got back to Argentina.
“I’m a midfielder, I like to play on the left. I’d say I have a powerful shot and a good change of pace. I’m right footed.
“[Carlos] Tevez is a phenomenon, he’s an idol all over Argentina for his humilty. I admire the ease with which [Arturo] Vidal gets into scoring positions, it’s impressive.
“The way [Paul] Pogba plays enchants me, because of the quality, patience and technique that he has.”
