A new addition for the future of Juventus. The club have officially confirmed the signing of English forward Justin Oboavwoduo, a 2006-born talent arriving from Manchester City. After completing his medical at JMedical yesterday morning, the young striker signed a contract that will keep him at the club until 30 June 2028.
Oboavwoduo joins the Juventus Next Gen squad, the reserve side competing in Serie C, marking another strategic investment in youth development by the Bianconeri. The 19-year-old began his football journey in Manchester City’s academy, progressing through the youth ranks and earning call-ups to England’s youth national teams.
Known for his pace, technical ability, and eye for goal, Oboavwoduo is ready to embrace his new challenge in Italy and continue his development within the Juventus system. Last season, he made 18 appearances across domestic competitions and the UEFA Youth League for Manchester City, scoring six goals and providing five assists — clear evidence of his contribution to the team’s attacking play.
Who Is Justin Oboavwoduo?
Born on 23 August 2006 in Manchester, Oboavwoduo is a versatile attacking player capable of operating as a striker, winger, or attacking midfielder. His dynamism and adaptability have made him one of the standout prospects from City’s youth academy in recent years.
Where Will He Play?
According to the club’s official statement, Oboavwoduo will initially join Massimo Brambilla’s Juventus Next Gen squad. This move follows a similar path to fellow prospect Adin Licina, recently signed from Bayern Munich, as Juventus continue to strengthen their second team with promising young international talent.
