Torino move 'on the cards' for Motherwell star

Motherwell defender Max Johnston is reportedly set for talks with italian Serie A side Torino next week as he negotiates his next move.

The 19-year-old has done well since returning to Fir Park from a loan spell at Cove Rangers in January and scored three goals on his way to being voted SFWA Young Player of the Year.

Johnston is out of contract at Fir Park this summer, and Football Scotland says he's heading to Italy shortly for talks. Motherwell have offered him a new deal, but it looks unlikely he will take that up.

Other clubs have been keeping tabs on the right-back's progress, including Norwich City and Brighton, while Sporting CP expressed an interest.

Torino are currently eighth in Serie A going into their last game of the season against Inter Milan on Saturday.
