Former Juventus director general Luciano Moggi says they should move for Manchester United striker Josh Zirkzee in January.

Moggi feels Thiago Motta's squad is a centre-forward short.

He told Radio Bianconera: “The team is certainly lacking in attack. We need to make a virtue of necessity. Nico Gonzalez could also play as a striker, but we need a centre-forward.

Zirkzee is one who can play as a False Nine. He moves the ball around very well. We haven’t seen this work at Juve so far. The team is suffering, only one win at home, a problem to be quantified and resolved.”

Moggi added, “For the rest, we can make do. The management’s work has been excellent. With a new coach who must replicate what he achieved at Bologna, there are no doubts about his qualities. However, the team hasn’t given this impressive yet.”
