Former Juventus striker Gianfranco Zigoni has encouraged their pursuit of Everton ace Romelu Lukaku.

Lukaku's agent, Mino Raiola, has close ties to Juve and is understood to be keen to place the Belgian in Italy.

Zigoni told TMW: "Personally, I'd look at the Belgian, who is younger than the Matador (PSG striker Edinson Cavani).

"The Uruguayan remains a great striker , but I'd rather bet on Lukaku for his technical characteristics and age. However, to make the strongest team, Juve should take (Gonzalo) Higuain, if I were in this club I would give so much money to Napoli for Pipita.

"But it would be unfair to the Azzurri club, the Argentine is really strong. Napoli will also lose in personality. If I were (president Aurelio) De Laurentiis, I would make an economic effort to keep him."
