Roma sign €30m World Cup-winner Nzonzi from Sevilla

Roma have announced the signing of midfielder Steven Nzonzi, who arrives from Sevilla in a reported €30 million (£27m/$34m) deal.

The midfielder, 29, had previously been linked with a big-money switch to the Premier League, with Arsenal and Manchester United among the rumoured suitors.

However, on the back of winning the World Cup with France, Nzonzi has become the latest new face at Roma ahead of the start of the 2018-19 Serie A season.

Eusebio Di Francesco's side have been busy re-shaping their squad following the departures of star duo Radja Nainggolan and Alisson this summer.
