From the Juventus Twitter profile, the first words have arrived from new Juventus football player Mattia De Sciglio, fresh from a transfer from Milan. "Surely I am very excited, because I come to a top team both in Italy and in Europe. I will do everything to repay the trust of club."

ON PERSONAL GOALS - "The first is to be able to enter the group and gain respect from my teammates, because I think it is fundamental. And then, as I said before, it will be to give the most, to repay the confidence to prove that I can stay in this group and gain the support and confidence of the fans."

De Sciglio moves to Juventus at a time when they need a player with his characteristics, following the departure of Dani Alves after only one season. The ex Milan defender will add to the depth of the Bianconeri back line while he fights for his place in the starting eleven for his club and country, with the World Cup in Russia fast approaching.
