Striker David Trezeguet has insisted that his former club Juventus can clinch the Serie A title this season.
The Oldy Lady currently top the table having taken 19 points from their opening nine encounters.
Trezeguet, who currently plays for UAE club Yani Bas, also believes that new coach Antonio Conte and central midfielder Andrea Pirlo have been crucial to Juve's positive start.
"I closely follow Juventus and I can tell you that the Serie A title is a realistic goal," Trezeguet is quoted as saying by La Gazzetta dello Sport.
"Antonio Conte is doing a great job as coach and Andrea Pirlo makes the difference in midfield.
"Additionally, their rivals have all made slow starts."
Trezeguet, 34, joined Juve in 2000 before leaving to sign for Spanish club Hercules ten years later.
