Gianluigi Buffon wants Stevan Jovetic at Juventus

Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has insisted that Fiorentina's Stevan Jovetic would be a good signing for the Serie A champions.

Jovetic has been linked with Juve as well as a move to Premier League side Arsenal this summer, with Buffon aware of the need for his side to strengthen and keep hold of their talent.

"Jovetic? Any player who will help Juventus improve is more than welcome, except a goalkeeper of course," Buffon told Tuttosport.

"We must follow the path we are on and try to improve on our performances from the past few seasons. It will not be easy to close the gap with the European top clubs, of which Bayern Munich has impressed me the most.

"Italian football has plenty of young talents, both at Juventus and at other clubs. I believe in Juventus's management and don't fear the departure of any champions."

Manchester United are the latest club to have been credited with an interest in Jovetic.
