Former Zenit St Petersburg assistant coach Carlo Nicolini says Juventus should move for Bayern Munich attacker Douglas Costa.

Juve have been linked with a move for the Brazil international this week.

And Nicolini told TuttoJuve: "If Juventus is to strengthen, Douglas Costa is a great player, his value is immense.

"He is a player missing in this squad, if he is used on the two flanks he is capable of creating numerical superiority because his opponent is always leaping in. He has a very remarkable technique.

"Except for (Paulo) Dybala, Juve does not have such a player, and the Brazilian would be ideal for (Mario) Mandzukic and (Gonzalo) Higuain."
