Juventus midfielder Sami Khedira has likened Atalanta to English champions Leicester City.

Juve welcome Atlanta to Turin on Saturday, and the Orobici are on a blistering run of form.

“Atalanta are a very good team, very strong," Khedira acknowledged.

“In my opinion they can dream of being the new Leicester. We're Juventus though, and we have our own dreams, on Saturday we have to beat them. That's our objective.

“We saw them against Roma, they're a very strong side, very tricky and they never give up.

“After the first half they could have been two, three goals down but then they won. They have a great mentality, and it won't be easy for us."
