Antonio Rudiger completes Roma switch

Roma have finalized the signing of Stuttgart defender Antonio Rudiger, according to reports.

The German international will link up with the Capital outfit on an initial season-long loan deal.

It is thought that the Giallorossi have the option of making the move permanent for £6m at the end of the 2015/16 campaign.

"I'm absolutely delighted to be able to wear the Roma jersey. I've come here to win titles, to win the Scudetto. I would like to thank all the Roma fans and promise them that I will give everything for this club," Rudiger told the club's official website.

Rudiger made 35 appearances for Stuttgart in all competitions last term.
