Zola backing Juventus pair Yildiz, Soule for big things

Italy hero Gianfranco Zola is full of praise for young Juventus pair Kenan Yildiz and Matias Soule.

Soule is shining on-loan with Frosinone this season.

Zola told Tuttosport: "Yildiz? Very strong. I really like him a lot. He has very important qualities to have a career of the highest level. Ravanelli's comparison with me? In some things we are similar, but I was more of a striker so much so that in Parma and Chelsea I played the false nine.

"I see him as more of a midfielder than me: he plays more between the lines as an assist man. However, Juve has incredible talent at home.

"Soul? I often saw him live when he was in Next Gen and he always impressed me. We are talking about a pure talent with great dribbling. He is doing very well in Frosinone. For me he is ready to be a great protagonist at Juventus next year too."
