Swedish side Djurgarden have confirmed that Juventus are interested in highly-rated starlet Carlos Garcia.

Garcia, 16, is regarded as an exciting prospect for the future and has been tipped to join a club in one of Europe's top leagues.

Tottenham have reportedly been keeping tabs on the full-back's progress but it seems Ciro Ferrara's Juve could be leading the chase for his signature.

The Italian giants have made contact with Djurgarden ahead of a possible move which could be worth 700,000 euros if Garcia progresses through to their first team.

"Yes, it is correct that Juventus are interested. We haven't received any bid, but they have met and discussed this," Djurgarden board member Ingvar Carlsson told Expressen.

"If he does move, then it is just left for us to congratulate the boy.

"I hope that he will be helped socially, not just on the pitch."
