In a note on their official website, Luciano Spalletti's club have netted the player on a five-year deal.

It was thought that Criscito would be joining Napoli this summer after the Azzurri did a deal with the Marassi outfit.
However, agreeing personal terms with his hometown club was problematic and he's now opted for a switch to Zenit instead.
The Russians did initially fail in a January bid to sign the 2010 World Cup player.
Inter and Paris Sanit-Germain were also said to be pondering an offer for the player who will be 25 at the end of next month.
