AC Milan fullback Gianluca Zambrotta has backed former Barcelona teammate Yaya Toure's push for a move to Serie A.

Toure has declared he wants to play for Juventus and Zambrotta, a former Bianconeri favourite, said: "He is like Andrea Pirlo and destined to become great.

"He's among the strongest midfielders going around and is ready for the Bianconeri."
