5 players who could replace Paul Pogba at Juventus

Axel Witsel

Poise, passing and that afro

Axel Witsel was once one of the most sought after midfielders in the world but has since dipped in performances and marketability. The Russian League can do that to you but Witsel is still capable of producing moments of magic that could turn games on its head.

Witsel is touted to move to the Premier League this season but given how Juventus could use someone who can do both attack and defend equally, the Belgian suddenly seems like an option they'd want to consider.

He can score goals, – he scored 6 last season – he can assist and he can win you games given you have the right team around him. Witsel is a dynamic midfielder and is strong in the air as well. His experience in winning titles and participating in the UEFA Champions League on a regular basis is a huge bonus for the Turin club.
