Juventus sign sought-after Palermo forward Paulo Dybala

Though not yet capped for La Albiceleste, or included in Argentina’s 2015 Copa America squad, it is just a matter of time before the man likened to Sergio Aguero takes his place among Lionel Messi and co to challenge the established order.

Dybala is just one of many fresh-faced Argentine talents to have made an impact in Europe this campaign, with Inter Milan marksman Mauro Icardi and Villarreal forward Luciano Vietto also impressing on the continent, meaning the footballing future looks bright for La Albiceleste.

This talented 21-year-old really is the full package, with fancy tricks and flicks secondary to his obvious composure, intelligence and elegance on the ball. The prospect of Dybala and last summer’s star striking capture Alvaro Morata linking up ahead of Juve’s midfield diamond is a tantalising thought, as the Italian giants now boast the most exciting young forward line in Europe.

Speculation has surrounded the future of top Juve scorer Carlos Tevez, who is rumoured to be seeking a switch back to South America, though Massimilano Allegri will surely be aiming to retain the former Man City and Man Utd predator for one more season to play mentor for his younger compatriot.

As for Basque frontman Fernando Llorente, who has struggled at times this term, the move for Dybala certainly seems to foreshadow the end of his time in Turin, though the Spanish striker will not be lacking for suitors.

Meanwhile, whether Juventus can use this clear intent in the transfer market to retain the likes of Andrea Pirlo, Paul Pogba and Arturo Vidal, all of whom are linked with exits, remains to be seen. Old Lady fans could certainly be looking at a startlingly different starting XI next season.
