Juventus will Zigic

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.

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.

9 Tore hat er also schon! Und das in seiner ersten Saison in Spanien! Imho ist Zigic eindeutig besser als Crouch!

aber ob er wirklich gut genug ist um in einem topteam wie juve zu bestehen, wage ich zu bezweifeln. ich finde er ist ein bisschen zu schwerfällig für einen absoluten topstürmer (das ist crouch z.b. nicht)
