JUVENTUS are reportedly interested in Burley star Dwight McNeil.
Sky Sports claim the winger, 20, has emerged as a target for new Bianconeri boss Andrea Pirlo.

McNeil started every single one of Burnley’s 38 Premier League games last season, helping Sean Dyche’s side to a tenth-place finish.
And Juventus apparently believe the left-footer could do a job in Turin following the success of some English youngsters abroad in recent years.
It’s reckoned McNeil, who started his youth career at Manchester United before joining Burnley’s academy in 2014, has his sights set on a move as he looks to build on his three England U21 caps.
But it remains to be seen if he ends up at Juventus, with places already hard to come by for experienced pros like Aaron Ramsey.

Instead, McNeil could have his head turned by ‘Big Six’ challengers Leicester and Wolves, who are both said to be keen on striking a deal with Burnley.
McNeil could also opt for another Serie A outfit in AC Milan, who have been happy to place their trust in breakthrough prospects over the past few seasons.
McNeil isn’t the only Burnley star possibly set for an exit this summer, with Nick Pope a reported target for Chelsea.
The England goalkeeper is seen as a potential replacement for Kepa Arrizabalaga.
But Pope could cost upwards of £50million, which could see Chelsea look elsewhere.
