Former Juventus transfers chief Luciano Moggi has praised their January market work.

Dusan Vlahovic (Fiorentina) and Denis Zakaria (Borussia Monchengldbach) have arrivd, while Luca Gatti was signed and loaned back to Frosinone.

Moggi told Radio Bianconera: “Zakaria is a good player who does not completely modify Juventus' midfield, but will offer a slightly better contribution than others.

“For instant, if the 70 millions spent on Vlahović had not been recovered, I would have given Rabiot away, rather than Bentancur. However, the needs dictated this operation.

“I think Juventus have done very well and the results will come in the end.

“The Swiss (Zakaria) might not be an extraordinary player who will save his homeland, but he is a player who gives movement, continuity and a competitive spirit and, therefore, he can be useful.

“However, Juventus need a player who is similar to Andrea Pirlo."
