Juve chief confirms "English interest" for Appiah

Juventus director general Luciano Moggi has confirmed inquiries from England have arrived for midfielder Stephen Appiah.

The Ghana international has been scouted by Birmingham City and Middlesbrough in recent weeks and was the subject of an approach from Everton in January.


"On Appiah, there is concrete interest from Italy and England," revealed Moggi yesterday.

Juve want a straight cash deal, while a Boro delegation was in Turin last Wednesday seeking an agreement over a season-long loan.
