Isla chính thức hay chưa chưa biết, nhưng Kwadwo Asamoah đã về

In what may be the first major mercato move for Marotta and co this offseason, Juventus have signed Udinese’s 23-year old Kwadwo Asamoah. Tuttosport broke the story this morning, and it has since been confirmed by Claudio Zuliani (close to Juventus) as well as journalist Gary Al-Smith. (close to Asamoah) Terms have not yet been disclosed, and it has not appeared on Juve’s official website yet, but those two sources are as good as it gets.

Manchester United was heavily interested in the Ghanaian, who has already accumulated 41 caps by the age of 23 for his country, but former Juventus midfielder (and a fellow Ghanaian) Stephen Appiah advised Asamoah to go to Juventus. Gary Al-Smith confirmed this story, which had previously been rumored, by stating that Appiah had a “big, big, big influence” on Asamoah.

We’ll have a full welcome piece on the energetic midfielder later, but I for one think this is a true coup to add to an already world class midfielder. Welcome to Juventus, Kwadwo!
