Juventus coach Maurizio Sarri: I didn't ask for January signings

Juventus coach Maurizio Sarri says he's happy with the state of his squad.

On deadline day, Emre Can went to Borussia Dortmund on loan with obligation to buy for a total €26m after failing to break into Sarri's squad.

“I found a group of 27 players. His quality is not up for debate and he becomes fundamental in a team that has a different way of playing.

“I asked for nothing in the summer and nothing in January. It's a strong squad, I have to adapt to the characteristics of the squad. I can't think of revolutionising an entire set of players.

“The objective over the next two months is to make Douglas Costa an important figure behind the strikers. He can change the balance of a game there."
