Udinese Ahead Of Juve In Fenin Race

Under 20 Czech Republic starlet Martin Fenin has already won the interest of various clubs, with Juventus and Udinese heading the list and fighting for the opportunity to sign the young talent.

Until a few days ago, Juventus were touted as the most likely destination for Fenin, but according to the 'Gazzetta dello Sport', Udinese have suddenly stormed in between the young player and the Old Lady in a bid to sign the promising Czech attacker.

For Udinese, Fenin would be the ideal substitute for Asamoah, who will be taking part in the African Nations Cup and will therefore have to miss some games for his team in the coming weeks.

According to earlier reports, Juventus had already agreed a deal worth 4 million Euros with Teplice, as the Italian giants see him as the ideal future substitute of David Trezeguet.

However, nothing was signed, so Udinese got the opportunity to talk to the Czech side, and start up their own negotiations.

The player is supposedly keener on the Friuliani, who can guarantee him pitch time and help him grow into Serie A, as opposed to Juve, who are likely to loan him out anyway.
