AS Monaco coach Adi Hutter admits he expects Denis Zakaria to soon arrive.

The Juventus midfielder is on the brink of signing for ASM.

Hutter said, “Happy in case of Zakaria's arrival? Of course.

"We talked about it for two or three weeks. I talked to him yesterday and he would be very happy to come to AS Monaco. I've known him since 2015, when I arrived in Bern and he was 18.

"He was a very gifted and talented player.

“Then after two years he left for Borussia Mönchengladbach, and then I trained with him a second time, and this would be the third time."
