Juventus have completed their protracted pursuit of Livorno midfielder Antonio Candreva.

The 22-year-old Italy international has joined the Turin club on an initial loan basis until the end of the season.

Juve have the option to buy half of the player's contract in the summer with the other 50 per cent being owned by Udinese.

Candreva's move to the Stadio Olimpico had appeared to have fallen through earlier in the week with Livorno president Aldo Spinelli demanding players in exchange for the highly-rated youngster.

However, the two clubs have now come to an agreement and the midfielder could make his debut in Saturday's Serie A meeting with AS Roma.
