Juventus completes Zaza swoop

Simone Zaza has completed a full transfer from Sassuolo to Juventus, penning a five-year deal with the Italian champion

Juventus has completed the 18 million euro signing of Sassuolo striker Simone Zaza on a five-year deal.

Italy international Zaza was formerly co-owned by Juve until Sassuolo bought out the Serie A champion's share in June 2014.

However, Juve inserted a buy-back clause as part of the deal and will now pay transfer fee installments over the next three years.

Zaza pens a five-year contract at the Juventus Stadium and he joins fellow striker Mario Mandzukic in moving to the Turin club during the offseason.
