I Can Be The New Nedved - Giovinco

Juventus starlet Sebastian Giovinco cannot wait to play for the Bianconeri next season even though he has not officially returned from his loan move to Empoli.

The pint-seized playmaker has spent the season on loan with Empoli, scoring 6 goals in 35 appearances for the Tuscans.

Juve are looking to take him back for next season as they try and base their squad around youth and experience.

However, the Old Lady still hasn’t officially brought the player home from his loan spell with the Empolesi but Giovinco is looking forward to the new season nevertheless.

“Nedved’s understudy? I can adapt to anything,” Giovinco told Radio Kiss Kiss.

“I have played as a winger or as a second striker so I am versatile.

“I’m looking forward to going back but nothing is official yet, we are still involved in talks but I haven’t received a call from Ranieri.”

Giovinco is one of Italy’s most promising talents and he has received constant attention from other clubs.

Palermo wanted him as part of the Amauri deal but Juve didn’t want to sell his rights to the Rosanero because they had expressed their desire to keep him for the new season ahead.
