Jeff Ekhator joins Juventus

Juventus continues to invest in youth. The Turin club has finalized the signing of Jeff Ekhator, a 19-year-old center forward born in Italy to Nigerian parents, arriving from Genoa.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the transfer is valued at €16 million, with an additional €2 million in potential bonuses. A true product of Genoa’s youth academy, Ekhator made his mark at the top level last season with 32 appearances and four goals across all competitions. His impressive rise also earned him a call-up to the Italian national team for the first time in June.

By joining the Old Lady, the young striker is set to experience a new environment where the competition will be fiercer. Juventus sees him as a forward for the future, capable of becoming a key part of their sporting project thanks to his potential and room for growth.
