Juventus to loan out Richmond Boakye-Yiadom

Promising midfielder Richmond Boakye-Yiadom could be loaned out by Juventus for regular playing time, his agent has hinted.

The 18-year-old completed a four-year deal to the Italian Champions last week after impressing on loan at Sassuolo.

There are many who believe the youngster will find it difficult to thrive in Antonio Conte’s team which can boast of star-studded enforcers.

His agent Oliver Arthur has revealed his client could be farmed out to another Seria A side that could guarantee him first team action.

“I know that there is a lot of expectation on the boy and a lot of worries that he shouldn’t have gone to such a big club,” Arthur told Radio XYZ

“But I can tell you that the boy has believe that if given the opportunity, he will be able to make the mark,”

“There are lots of clubs who are already requesting for his signature for a loan. There are lots of clubs in Italy who are already asking that if Juve will give him out, they will be interested,”

“I guess he has to go on loan. Definitely he has to go on loan.

“One thing Juve made us aware was that they wouldn’t put a player they have bought into a seria B club so it is likely that even if he is going on loan, he will be put at a Seria A club where he will be playing regularly,”

Boakye-Yiadom attracted attention in Italy when he scored on his Serie A debut for Genoa as a 17-year-old two seasons ago.

He moved to Italy in 2009 after agreeing a six-year deal with Genoa from then lower division Ghanaian side Bechem United.
