Zhegrova disappoints at Juventus, Italian media calls her "Zerova"

Edon Zhegrova is having a difficult season at Juventus, where he has failed to leave his mark in terms of statistics and performance. The attacking winger, who was brought in with high expectations to strengthen the right wing of the attack, has so far registered neither goals nor assists.

His situation has attracted the attention of the Italian media, where "Gazzetta dello Sport" has devoted a critical analysis to him, nicknamed him "Zerova", in a play on words that refers to the lack of concrete contribution on the field.

According to Italian media, a similar case of a total lack of contributions from an attacking winger had not been seen in around 15 years at the club, comparing the situation to Jorge Martinez in a previous difficult season for Juventus.

Zhegrova was transferred from Lille for around 14.3 million euros in the summer transfer window, but so far has failed to justify the investment. Rumors are also circulating in the Italian media that he is not part of the coach's plans, due to his inability to adapt to the tactical requirements and lack of impact in the defensive phase.

In this situation, his future at Juventus remains unclear, while a possible departure at the end of the season is being seen as an increasingly likely option.
