Matias Soule has arrived at Roma in good fitness and is ready to make his debut under Daniele De Rossi ahead of the new Serie A season.
The 21-year-old Argentinian forward arrived in the Italian capital on Sunday evening amidst much fanfare, receiving a passionately warm welcome from the waiting Giallorossi fans, who are ready to see their new starlet in action.
Roma have agreed to sign Soule from Juventus in a deal worth around €26m plus €4m in add-ons, fighting off tough competition from Leicester City for his signature. The 21-year-old pushed for the move, wanting to play alongside Paulo Dybala and Leandro Paredes.
