Juventus look to have won the race to sign Swedish starlet Carlos Garcia.

The 16-year-old defender trained with the Turin side earlier this year, as well as Tottenham and Inter Milan.

They were all keen to negotiate a deal with Djurgarden, Garcia's club, but Juve look to have landed him.

"It looks like it will be sorted out, it feels very nice that Juventus want me." Garcia told Swedish media.

"I feel ready to move now and I have explained that to Djurgarden.

"I assume that I will join the youth team, but my ambition is to get my debut in Serie A as soon as possible."
