Carlos Alcaraz: Southampton boss Russell Martin says loan to Juventus 'suits everyone'

Southampton's decision to loan Carlos Alcaraz to Italian side Juventus "suits everyone", says boss Russell Martin.

However, the 21-year-old midfielder has managed only three goals in 23 Championship games this season.

"It's an amazing opportunity for him to go and play for a huge club with huge history," said Martin.

Alcaraz - known as Charly - has only completed 90 minutes three times in the league this season and has played 14 minutes in the two Championship matches since the turn of the year.

Serie A giants Juventus will reportedly have an option to buy Alcaraz for around £40m in the summer.
