General director Giuseppe Marotta has become the latest
Juventus figure to praise Udinese's 17-year-old goalkeeper Simone Scuffet.
Scuffet made his Serie A debut in February and has been
an ever-present since, keeping four clean sheets in his 12 top-flight
appearances.
He has already displaced Zeljko Brkic and Ivan Kelava as
Udinese's first-choice goalkeeper, and his promise was rewarded with a place in
an Italy training camp in March.
Juventus captain and legendary Italy keeper Gianluigi
Buffon praised Scuffet last week and said he could earn a spot in his country's
FIFA World Cup squad.
Scuffet was in goal for Juve's 2-0 win at Udinese on
Monday and before the match Marotta continued the Italian champions' public
admiration of the player.
"I will say that he has great promise, because
whilst he has yet to confirm it, I believe he has all the requirements to do
something important in the game," Marotta told Sky Sport Italia.
"This begins with a quality that I think is enough
for him to truly cover the goal excellently."
