Not sure Juventus need another striker TBH. I'd love this to happen, I don't think it will though.

Juventus & Tottenham step up Embolo chase
The Italian champions will watch the 18-year-old Switzerland international again on Thursday as they weigh up a bid for a player who is also wanted at White Hart Lane
Juventus are hoping to steal a march on Tottenham in the race to sign Basel starlet Breel Embolo.
The 18-year-old striker, who was born in Cameroon, is considered one of Europe's most exciting young talents, having already been capped at senior level by Switzerland.
Tottenham have been speaking with both Basel and Embolo's representatives since the summer, while Juve sent a scout to watch him in action for Basel in their Europa League meeting with Fiorentina at the Stadio Artemio Franchi on September 17.
Indeed, the Italian champions are willing to make another huge investment in the club's long-term future should their scouting missions continue to yield positive reports.
They could yet be drawn into an auction, though, as Tottenham view Embolo as a very real alternative to primary transfer target Saido Berahino, whom they were unable to prise away from West Bromwich Albion during the summer.
