"Warrior" Sissoko ready to go to battle for Juventus

Momo Sissoko is ready to go to battle for Juventus.

The former Liverpool midfielder said: "I am very happy to be in Turin, I completed my medical and feel very good.

"Juventus are a great club and many champions have played here, so it is truly fantastic to be a part of that aged 23."

It is a reunion for the midfielder and Claudio Ranieri, who already worked together in Spain at Valencia.

"I have seen many Serie A games, they play beautiful football and there are plenty of talents, some of whom play for Juventus, so it will be fantastic to be by their side and of course to work with Ranieri again.

"He was my Coach at Valencia, I know his character and the way he views football. I think he is a great tactician."

Sissoko already has an enviable CV with a Liga title, UEFA Cup, two European Super Cups, an FA Cup and League Cup.

"I am a warrior and I like to put pressure on opponents. My objective is to become a great midfielder and at Juventus I can do that," added the 23-year-old.

"This will be a crucial experience for me and an important step in my career."
