Atalanta and Lazio target in-form Juventus star
Edon Zhegrova has hit top form in recent weeks , and it now appears that the Kosovo international could finally show why Juventus invested heavily in him. The attacker has started to produce the performances expected from him and is becoming an increasingly important player for the club.
Juventus signed Zhegrova from Lille last season, but his first term was largely a write-off as he struggled to demonstrate his quality. Injuries also played a part in limiting his impact, leaving the club uncertain about what he could offer over the longer term.

Zhegrova finding his best form
During the summer, Juventus were keen to offload Zhegrova while they still could, hoping to bring in a more useful player for their manager. However, that plan did not work out because none of the clubs interested in him showed enough serious interest to complete a deal.
Zhegrova therefore remained with the squad and is now beginning to justify the faith placed in him. He has been in fine form in recent weeks, producing strong performances for Juventus while also impressing with Kosovo.
His improvement has naturally attracted attention from elsewhere, with clubs now monitoring his situation more closely. His recent displays could also make Juventus reconsider how they view his importance to the team.

Serie A clubs monitoring the attacker
Tuttomercatoweb claims Atalanta and Lazio have been following Zhegrova, with both Serie A clubs potentially considering an attempt to sign him at the end of this season or during the next transfer window.
Both clubs reportedly see him as a player capable of making an impact in their squads. His current form could make him an appealing target , particularly if he continues producing consistently for Juventus and Kosovo.
The growing interest could also create a competitive situation for his signature. Atalanta and Lazio know other clubs could enter the race, which may encourage them to act sooner rather than later.

That could lead to an attempt to bring Zhegrova into one of their squads as early as January. Juventus, meanwhile, will have to decide whether his improved performances have changed their plans for his future.
