Torino also looks to Qatar for defense

Talks between Torino and Koffi Djidji for a renewal are at a standstill, and the Granata are moving into the market so as not to be caught unprepared should the center back, on whom there are several English clubs, leave.

The latest name to appear in Vagnati’s notebook is that of Harry Souttar, an Australian defender who is performing well in the World Cup in Qatar. Born in 1998, the Aberdeen native currently plays for Stoke City and has a contract until 2025, but the sirens could convince him to move earlier. His is not the only profile on Toro’s radar: there are also Pawel Bochniewicz, Oumar Gonzalez and Almamy Touré.

The rocky Australian central has a very important physical structure: he is just under two meters tall and is very solid in marking. On Saturday night the Garnet market men will be watching the challenge between Australia and Argentina very carefully: Souttar is expected to start.
