The France Under-19 international is on the verge of joining the Serie A champions, as he is currently in Turin to undergo his physical tests before putting pen to paper

Juventus have confirmed on their official website that promising youngster Paul Pogba has arrived at the club to undergo a medical ahead of his proposed transfer.

The 19-year-old midfielder left Manchester United earlier this summer after deciding not to extend his expiring contract, and he is now one step closer to completing his long-awaited move to the Serie A champions.

Pogba is seen as one of the biggest talents in his age category, and Juventus have pinpointed the midfielder as an important player for the future.

The France Under-19 star is expected to ink a long-term deal with the Bianconeri once he passes his medical.

Pogba is a product of the Le Havre youth academy, but left the French side for Manchester United in the summer of 2009.

He made his Premier League debut against Stoke City in January 2012, but will now continue his career in the Italian top flight.
