Lazio have confirmed the signing of Cesena midfielder Antonio Candreva.

Candreva arrives on a mixed deadline day for Lazio.

"We took Candreva, a player with features that we are missing in our midfield. His football history shows he has a good track record, since he has played for Juventus, the Italian national team and for Udinese" said Lazio chief Igli Tare.

"He is a young player who can contribute, we have given him the chance of a six-month loan and we believe his future is at Lazio."
