Miralem Pjanic scores incredible basketball trick-shot as Chelsea make approach for Juventus ace
Midfielder swapped the footie pitch for the basketball court, and decided to show off yet more of his skills
MIRALEM PJANIC is one of the hottest prospects in European football - and he also has skills on the basketball court too.
The 28-year-old Juventus midfielder swapped the footie pitch for hoops and showed off a pretty amazing trick-shot.
Pjanic, who has been linked with a move to Chelsea this summer, performed an advanced rainbow flick that resulted in the ball looping up and straight through the hoop.
A team-mate went up for the lay-off, but his efforts weren't even needed.
Reports in Italy this morning are once again linking the Bosnia and Herzegovina talent with a move to West London.
News site Calciomercato believes new Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri is hoping to make Pjanic his third signing since taking over from Antonio Conte.
They are reporting that club officials have flown to Italy to get the negotiations underway.
He could join Jorginho and veteran keeper Rob Green at Stamford Bridge.
But the player himself may need a bit more persuading.
SunSport has previously reported how Pjanic revealed he is "very happy" with the Serie A champions.
Speaking to Sky Sports in Italy, he said: "I'm here, I'm very happy in this group and I'm working well.
"I know the market is like this, there could be things that interest you, sometimes not.
"But I am very happy about what I'm doing.
"I'm very happy with what I've done in the last two seasons.
The 28-year-old scored seven goals and made 14 assists last season as Juventus won the Serie A title last season.
"I'm in a good group and I have a great relationship with the coach.
"I'm doing my best to prepare for next season."
