‘Behind Haaland, Jonathan David the best in Europe’

‘50 goals with Osimhen – but Vlahovic would work well too’

After signing Jonathan David, Juventus have another market decision to make for their attack. The Bianconeri have been linked with a move for wantaway Napoli forward Victor Osimhen, whilst Dusan Vlahovic’s future with the Old Lady appears to be hanging in the balance.

When asked if David could play with Osimhen, Marsch said “Absolutely! Osimhen is a centre-forward, David more of a second striker. I don’t know if it will happen but on paper it would be a fantastic duo. They would score between them at least 50 goals.”

When asked who his favourite player is in Juventus’ current team, Marsch replied “Yildiz is a great player. I also like McKennie, who I coached at Leeds. I don’t know Tudor personally but I’d like to come and see his training sessions in Turin.”
