Juventus Reportedly Targets Former Hibs Left-Back Josh Doig

Josh Doig, a Scottish left-back currently playing for Sassuolo, has emerged as a transfer target for Juventus under their new permanent head coach Igor Tudor, who is looking to strengthen his squad for Serie A and the Champions League. Doig, who left Hibernian for Italy in 2023 and played a key role in Sassuolo's immediate promotion back to Serie A after relegation, is valued at around £12.6 million. Tudor is reportedly interested in signing Doig alongside Bologna's Dan Ndoye as part of his 3-5-2 formation strategy. Doig's journey to Serie A was marked by early career setbacks, including rejection by Hearts, but he persevered and now could become only the second Scot to play for Juventus. This potential move highlights the growing presence and success of Scottish players in Italy's top flight. Juventus recently secured a top-four finish in Serie A and are poised to confirm Tudor as their full-time head coach following his interim tenure.
