Former Juventus midfielder Hernanes says Dusan Vlahovic needs a fellow striker signed to play alongside him.

Hernandes admits he doesn't rate Vlahovic as an out-and-out centre-forwad.

He explained on Terzo Tempo: "Dusan would be someone who should be joined by another striker. I don't see him as a classic number 9 for Juventus. I would see him well alongside another element. He suffers from playing with his back to goal, I see him more as a second striker."

Hernanes also spoke of Paul Pogba's situation.

"I don't think that bringing back Pogba was a wrong choice, because he did very well at Juve previously and he wanted to go home.

"Of course, the situation wasn't optimal, he was ill for a long time and Juve were aiming for it a lot. I hope he recovers, comes back 100% to play. He has to go back to having fun on the pitch. Are the Arabs looking for him? It's hard to say no now."
