Empoli confirm Hamed Traore's imminent move to Juventus

Empoli president Fabrizio Corsi has confirmed that Ivory Coast midfielder Junior Traore will join Juventus this summer.

Despite Empoli's underwhelming campaign in the Serie A, Traore was impressive for Aurelio Andreazzoli's side where he contributed two goals and two assists in 32 league outings.

Earlier this year, the Ivorian midfielder had agreed to join Fiorentina at the end of the 2018-19 season but the deal fell through.
