Ghana midfielder, Kwadwo Asamoah’s long-running transfer saga with Chelsea continues to rumble on with Italian outlet, Il Giornale claiming that Juventus will use him as a bargaining chip to sign two Chelsea players.

According to Il Giornale, Massimiliano Allegri will use the injury-prone Asamoah as a makeweight for Juventus' bid to land Chelsea stalwarts Eden Hazard and Oscar.

Allegri is said to be a huge fan of Hazard and Oscar and would love to work with the players in Turin, although Juventus will struggle to come up with the funds for a potential deal.

However, negotiations could be made easier as Chelsea are expected to be willing to let Brazilian Oscar leave the club for a suitable fee.

The youngster has struggled to nail down a starting role at Chelsea despite some impressive performances, and Asamoah’s capture will be ideal for Antonio Conte’s 3-5-2 wing-back system.
