Juventus academy Pessotto tips two young guns for fans to watch

Juventus academy Gianluca Pessotto has nominated two players for fans to watch.

Turkish midfielder Kenan Yildiz, 17, and Dutch defender Dean Huijsen, 18, are two players Pessotto expects to make big progress.

“We are very happy with our work, as we're finally reaping the fruits of a project that started almost 10 years ago," said Pessotto to Sky Italia.

“Today in the first team there are four players who have shown that they can handle Juve's weight.

“This is also a stimulus for the Next Gen boys and also for the Primavera boys who are about to join the Next Gen.

“Yildiz is a U19 player today but he's ready for U23. There are other boys who deserve a chance in the First Team. Huijsen above all, but in the meantime let's think about the Coppa Italia final which would be a historic result."
