They underwent medicals together this morning and, still as a pair, arrived in Cagliari this afternoon on a flight from Rome. Jacopo Fazzini and Harry Winks joined the Rossoblu squad this afternoon, awaiting the official announcement expected shortly. Greeted by fans at Elmas airport, they expressed their happiness at the successful conclusion of the negotiations.

"I'm happy, I can't wait to get started," were Fazzini's first words upon arriving in Cagliari. " It was the right time to come here . I spoke to Pisacane, and he also convinced me to come here." Speaking again in English, despite having already played in Italy for Sampdoria, Winks said: "I'm very happy to be here and I thank the fans for their welcome. This is a great opportunity for me," he said.

Fazzini and Winks are both midfielders . The former arrives from Fiorentina on loan with an option to buy, after Cagliari beat off competition from Parma. For the latter, formerly of Leicester City, the deal includes a one-year contract with an option for a further season.
