Roberto De Zerbi admits Benevento are taking a gamble with free agent Paolo De Ceglie but hopes his “superior quality” will help the club.

De Ceglie is currently on trial at Benevento with a view to joining the Serie A strugglers, although the former Juventus left-back has not played an official game since a four-minute cameo for Olympique Marseille in March 2016.

“Free transfers are to be taken with a pinch of salt, so as to try to understand the state they’re in,” the Coach said at a Press conference.

“Free transfers are to be taken with a pinch of salt, so as to try to understand the state they’re in,” the Coach said at a Press conference.

“De Ceglie’s a player with superior quality to our relegation fight. It’s clear that we need to understand the state he’s in and we’ll do so over the next few days.

“Will we look at other free agents? We’ll try to do the things we need to.”
