Tonge wanted by Juventus

MICHAEL TONGE'S form for Sheffield United has not only drawn attention from The Premiership, but also from Serie A giants Juventus.

The talented former Manchester United youth has been a revelation this season, and his pace and skill on the ball led to Tottenham openly watching the youngster at the weekend.

Juventus have no shortage of skill at the club, but are always on the lookout for young talent.

Although it seems surprising that the Italian club's scouts would be scouring Division One, the burgeoning reputation of Tonge - as well as his youth international record and spell at Old Trafford go some way to explaining the interest from Turin.

Tonge has been a virtual ever-present for the Blades in the past 18 months - scoring five times this season including an impressive brace against Wolves.
