Leeds United and Nottingham Forest are chasing young Italian goalkeeper Francesco Anacoura, who is currently at Serie A champions Juventus.

Anacoura, 21, has found it difficult to make an impression in Turin and Juventus have sent him out on a series of loan spells, with the latest being at third tier side Rimini.




The shot-stopper is due to return to Juventus this summer, but it is unclear what the Bianconeri's plans for him are and according to Italian outlet Tutto Mercato, Leeds and Nottingham Forest are tracking developments involving the Italian.

Anacoura spent time in the youth ranks at Parma, but signed a five-year deal with Juventus on a co-ownership agreement.
 


In total, Anacoura made 26 appearances in all competitions last season, keeping six clean sheets in the process.
