Juventus boss Allegri discusses form of his summer signings

Juventus boss Max Allegri is pleased with the progress of their summer signings.

Juve sit top of the table and face Borussia Dortmund in the knockout phase of the Champions League.

"Our new signings have been good. [Roberto] Pereyra is the one who played the most and he did better than anyone. [Patrice] Evra had some trouble at first but now he is recovered," Allegri said.

"[Alvaro] Morata doesn't always play but even when he doesn't, he has great technical qualities that make him decisive.

"Against Napoli he executed a pass that wasn't easy and that allowed [Arturo] Vidal to score a great goal.

"He is a great player and he'll grow even more. He comes from Real Madrid and he went from being treated as a child there to being given responsibilities here. It's not easy when you start getting treated as an important player.

"[Kingsley] Coman is still a boy, but he played two games as a starter in Verona and in Florence and he's putting in some good performances. He has great potential and great quality.

"Romulo had a good game against Parma but then he had to stop."
