Juventus 'line up Chelsea flop Saul Niguez' as Paul Pogba's replacement with the Atletico Madrid star identified by the Italian giants as a potential option in the Frenchman's absence

Chelsea flop Saul Niguez has reportedly emerged as an option for Juventus as they look to dip back into the market for a midfielder following Paul Pogba's injury layoff.

With Juventus having made Pogba one of their summer priorities, the injury comes as a significant set back to the club trying to rebuild under Massimiliano Allegri.

Pogba, who signed for the club on a free transfer this summer having left Manchester United, suffered a lesion to his right lateral meniscus in his knee, an injury that could potentially sideline him for months, risking his presence at the World Cup in November and December.
