AS Roma midfielder Nemanja Matic has welcomed fellow new signing Paulo Dybala.

Dybala joined Roma this week after coming off contract at Juventus.

Matic said: "He will bring that extra quality that will be necessary to get results. I played against him and I know how dangerous him can be.

"Who does he remind me of? I would say (Juan) Mata in his prime."

Turning to his own contribution, Matic explained: "Experience and stability on the pitch, to help the young players and the group. Inside we want to win something, but saying it in July is useless."

And Jose Mourinho?

"He simply has something more. Five minutes after winning a trophy he is already there thinking about tomorrow, being trained by him becomes a privilege."
