Former famous Italian footballer "unimpressed" by Zhegrova: She

Former famous Italian footballer Paolo Di Canio, from the "Sky Sport" studios, has commented on Juventus' reinforcements, especially the arrival of Lois Openda and Kosovar footballer, Edon Zhegrova.

He suggested that both players are not at a high level.

"How can you say that Juventus have a good attack with Openda and Zhegrova? I understand that in Italy there are few choices, and when something small comes, we make it look like something big," declared Di Canio.

"Openda is a player who played like a freestyle at Leipzig, he was not a real center forward, but a winger who did what he wanted. There he could move freely because they are players who know how to exploit space, along with Sesko. And if you finish the championship in fourth, fifth or sixth place, nobody tells you anything. But when you come to Juventus, you have to have a clear role, to become a point of reference for the team. And Openda is not that, neither in terms of play nor in terms of numbers, he has never had great goal statistics," the Italian added.

"The same goes for Zhegrova: he has quality, he has a beautiful left foot, he is a nice player to watch and we appreciate him because we don't have many like him. But when we see Orsolin or Politano, it seems to us that we are seeing Robben," concluded the former famous player.

Edon Zhegrova has only played 39 minutes with Juventus since his transfer to the "Old Lady".

Zhegrova was transferred to Italy from Lille, France, for a fee that almost reached the figure of 20 million euros.
