Alessandro Del Piero tips Paulo Dybala as future Juventus captain

Alessandro Del Piero has tipped Paulo Dybala to become club captain of Juventus at some point in his career.

Despite being linked with a move away from Turin last summer, Dybala has reestablished himself as a key figure under Maurizio Sarri.

Having witnessed the playmaker's recent progression, Del Piero feels that the Argentine deserves to be in the reckoning when a new club captain is named in the future.

The club legend told Sky Sport Italia: "Paulo has already worn the armband a few times and if it has already happened it is because they consider him to be up to it.

"As far as I know him personally, I believe that his maturity has grown a lot, primarily due to the reaction he had after this summer, which underlines the growth in terms of personality.

"He has always been available and dedicated to work and I think he is complete in this respect too."

Since moving to Juve in 2015, the 26-year-old has contributed 90 goals from 214 appearances in all competitions.
