Empoli midfielder Hamed Traore has reportedly emerged as a potential transfer target for Juventus.

Traore only turned 19 years of age in February, but the youngster made a total of 32 appearances in Serie A during the current campaign.

Empoli's relegation has resulted in Traore attracting widespread interest, and Calciomercato claims that Juventus are considering whether to make an approach for the player.

The report suggests that the league champions are still looking to sign Paul Pogba, who could leave Manchester United this summer, but Traore has been identified as an alternative by club officials.

Fiorentina have also been linked with Traore, although a proposed transfer to Viola is said to have fallen through.
