New Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri reveals that he is keen to bring in a defender and a striker before the start of the season.

New Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri has revealed that he wants to sign a defender and a striker before the start of the season.

The Italian champions have already brought in Patrice Evra, Alvaro Morata and Kingsley Coman on permanent deals this summer, while Udinese winger Roberto Pereyra recently joined on loan.

However, Allegri is eager to boost his squad even further ahead of their upcoming Serie A title defence.

"If we sign another defender and another striker then we're in good shape," he told Gazetta dello Sport.

"I would prefer a striker first, though. The team's working well – it's not easy to improve an already strong group of players, though."

Allegri was named Juventus's new manager on July 16, 24 hours after Antonio Conte had left the club.
