Fulham defender Andersen latest name on Juventus wish list | OneFootball

Fulham defender Joachim Andersen is the latest candidate for Juventus to strengthen their defence in the January transfer window.

The Bianconeri have been leaking goals since Gleison Bremer ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee, ruling the Brazil international out for around six months.

They are seeking a temporary replacement on the market and many names have been mentioned, including Milan Skriniar at Paris Saint-Germain, Tottenham Hotspur centre-back Radu Dragusin and Empoli’s Ardian Ismajli.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport and Tuttomercatoweb, the most promising new lead is Fulham defender Andersen.

The Denmark international was purchased from Crystal Palace for €29.5m in August, but only has seven competitive appearances for the club this season.

He is no stranger to Serie A, playing for Sampdoria from 2017 to 2019, then moving on to Olympique Lyonnais, Palace and Fulham.

It is suggested that Andersen could be allowed to leave on loan and would have significantly lower wages than the other alternatives.
