Juventus considering bid for McNeil?

Burnley youngster Dwight McNeil has reportedly emerged as a surprise transfer target for Juventus.

The 19-year-old was one of the shining lights of a disappointing campaign for Burnley, starring during the second half of the season.

The wideman contributed three goals and five assists from 21 outings in the Premier League, although that return has seemingly left Burnley in a battle to keep hold of the prospect.

According to The Sun, Juventus were left impressed with McNeil's performances for England Under-20s during the recent Toulon Tournament in France.

The report adds that the Serie A champions are keen to supplement their experienced squad with a couple of younger figures, one of whom could be McNeil.

However, Burnley allegedly value McNeil in the region of £30m, a fee which may be enough to fend off any interest from Italy.
