Report: Juventus want Steven N'Zonzi in January window

Juventus will reportedly launch a move for Sevilla midfielder Steven N'Zonzi at the start of the January transfer window.

The 27-year-old joined Sevilla from Stoke City in the summer of 2015 and has developed into a key player at the Estadio Ramon, with his performances believed to have attracted a host of attention.

Barcelona, Chelsea and Liverpool have all been credited with an interest in the central midfielder, but according to La Stampa, Juventus lead the race and will press ahead with an offer at the start of 2017.

In October, N'Zonzi, who is said to be in negotiations with his Spanish side over a new contract, insisted that he was "very good" at Sevilla after being questioned on the reported interest.

N'Zonzi played in England between 2009 and 2015 for Blackburn Rovers and Stoke respectively, before making the move to Europa League holders Sevilla.
