Diego

The Bianconeri are keen on creative midfielder Diego and he may arrive during the January transfer window.

Tuttosport claims the Italian club sent one of their secret observers, Biagio Gallivanone, to watch the game between Bremen and Koln at the Weserstadion on Sunday afternoon.

Juve have always denied reports suggesting they were after the Brazilian, but the observer will no doubt be briging home the good news. Diego scored a stunning goal on Sunday and, now, he could arrrive sooner rather than later.

Gallivanone's task in Germany was to see if Diego would fit into Claudio Ranieri's 4-4-2 system.

La Vecchia Signora need a midfielder in order to bolster their squad over the course of the season and the 23-year-old could prove to be they key for the Italians.

Furthermore, Juve's constant injury woes have caused panic and some extra strength in the middle would be welcome, given their hopes of landing silverware this season.
