Juventus midfielder Nicolo Rovella admits the presence of Maurizio Sarri convinced him about joining Lazio.

Rovella moved to Lazio last week on a season-long loan.

He told Lazio Style Channel: "Being here is a dream, when I learned of the possibility of coming here to play for Lazio, I pushed and strongly wanted the transfer, both for the coach who wanted me, and for everything else, the team, the city.

"I knew Luca (Pellegrini), who spoke to me about this team, I can't wait. Mister Sarri is a master, he knows football very well, I will entrust myself totally to him, I hope I can improve in everything.

"The one who impressed me the most, even playing against him for a few years, is Luis Alberto, he has incredible quality, I hope to play with him as many matches as possible."
