As he capped off an excellent performance in Moscow with a brilliant free-kick, Juventus will be delighted that they swooped swiftly to secure an agreement with Golovin.
The young midfielder is understood to have already agreed personal terms with the Bianconeri – giving them the edge in the race with Arsenal and Manchester United to sign the player.
Earlier this year, Golovin netted a free-kick at the Emirates in the Europa League – impressing scouts from the Gunners and also from the Red Devils.
However, Juve are the side that hold the advantage, having agreed terms with the player and they are now set for talks with CSKA.
Following Russia 5-0 Saudi Arabia, Golovin said:
“I am honoured by this interest.”

Golovin wouldn’t be a surprising signing. Easily Russia’s best player today (alongside Cheryshev) with a goal and two assists, plus a commercial club like ours dream with 144 million Russians supporting us if it happened.
