Rodrigo Bentancur is eager to emulate the success of Paul Pogba at Juventus.

The Uruguayan has been handed a non-EU place in Juve's squad.

“I'm ready for Juventus, even if I'm only 20 years old," he told Gazzetta dello Sport.

“I made a lot of appearances for Boca, I debuted for them 17 and played at La Bombonera.

“Boca are an institution. I'm used to dealing with pressure as there was so much pressure of it [at Boca].

“Comparisons with Pogba? They're an honour and I hope to imitate him. I'll do my best to show my potential.

“My favourite position is in front of the defence in a two-man midfield, although I played everywhere but in goal for Boca.

“Forlan has always been my favourite player, but Gerrard and Pirlo are my points of reference in the role I play.

“I'm fortunate to train with some technically-incredible players at Juve and I hope to learn so much from them.

“I'm a very attacking player and I can turn the ball over quickly. Juve have seen these qualities in me, now I have to get better at them."
