Vasco da Gama wing-back Lanyan has revealed Juventus want to sign him.

Chelsea and Juve are chasing the 17 year-old, who has been likened to Fenerbahce star Roberto Carlos.

"I have an Italian passport and Juventus want me to join them in April," said Lanyan. "I am still very young and must complete my studies in Vasco.

"I have found a great family at this club and all the lads want me to play in the first team."
