Ex-Juventus defender Vierchowod: What Vlahovic misses

Former Juventus defender Pietro Vierchowod says they should keep hold of Dusan Vlahovic.

It's been claimed Juve are willing to send Vlahovic to Chelsea in exchange for Romelu Lukaku.

But Vierchowod told La Gazzetta dello Sport: “I would keep Vlahovic and not sign Lukaku, because he is almost entirely physical strength.

“I have seen the Belgian miss some incredible sitters… Dusan has far more quality, greater technique and I think a player like him just needs to be improved in terms of his mental strength.

“If he can shake off some of that anxiety, he'll become a very good striker. He has everything required, perhaps he is just missing a little bit of hunger."
