Juventus leading the race to sign Premier League striker

Juventus have become the latest club to register an interest in Southampton striker Graziano Pelle, reports talkSPORT.

Saints are prepared to cash in on the frontman this summer after he supposedly fell out with the club's coaching staff in the second half of last season.

Ronald Koeman, who is set to take over at Everton next week, is keen on bringing the Italian with him to Goodison Park as he looks to improve the Toffees squad.

However, they could find themselves behind Juventus in the race to sign Pelle, with the Italian giants able to offer the 30-year-old Champions League football next term.

Saints supposedly want £10m for the striker, who scored 11 goals and registered six assists in the Premier League last term.
