Transfer News: Juventus Look to Carroll & Adebayor | Conte Wants to Bring in Striker Firpower

Juventus are looking to bring in some more firepower to their attack and have sighted Liverpool's Andy Carroll, Tottenham's Emmanuel Adebayor and Lazio's Sergio Floccari as possible arrivals according to Italian news provider calciomercato. 
Juventus Target Andy Carroll
The Turin based side have been on the lookout for an out and out centre forward which at the moment they don't have. Instead players such as Matri, Vucinic, Giovinco and Quagliarella help to fill the gap.

They have touted these three players as people who could come into the team without interfering with the current formation.

Andy Carroll is currently on loan at West Ham United and after making 12 appearances this season he only has one goal to his name thus far.

Emmanuel Adebayor has also made a similar amount of appearances with minor success after he fell behind Jermain Defoe in the pecking order. He now could entertain a move elsewhere if this continues.

Lazio's Sergio Floccari is the other who is mentioned looks set to leave the capital anyway only making 6 substitute appearances in the Serie A this season.

These players all have exceptional qualities about them but perhaps this trio is not the answer to Juve's lack of a much needed world class number 9.

New Juventus Signing Federico Peluso
The loan deal is set to initially cost the Bianconeri €1 million with an additional four million to make the signing permanent for the 28 year old.

Despite interest from several other clubs, most notably AC Milan and Napoli, Juventus are still sitting in pole position, according to Atalanta general director Pierpaolo Marino.

“Peluso is wanted by various clubs, but we have given priority to Juventus as they have been following him for some time,” Marino said.

Juventus had been linked with Peluso as early as last summer when the current Serie A leaders were in the market for a defender.

Instead, Juventus opted for Lucio on a free transfer, however, the Brazilian recently rescinded his contract with the club in order to play in his native country.

Coupled with the long-term injury to Giorgio Chiellini and Kwadwo Asamoah going on Africa Cup of Nations duty, the Turin club were in need of defensive cover.

Reports are suggesting that the Bianconeri may make a concrete offer for the Argentine striker at the end of the season, with Real Madrid not willing to sell during the January transfer market.

The Old Lady have been looking for a world class striker and so far many of those names which have been thrown up have been from Spain and includes: Fernando Llorente from Bilbao and David Villa from Barcelona and now obviously Higuain.

A bid of around €30 million would be required for Real Madrid to think about selling.

Higuain has only made ten appearances so far this season scoring seven goals. Only making this many appearances would have himself wondering about a move elsewhere.
