Juve recruit Khedira targeting silverware

Germany international Sami Khedira hopes to win everything on offer at Juventus.

Khedira was present at Juve’s training complex on Monday as he kicked off his pre-season schedule following his arrival as a free agent from Real Madrid on a four-year contract last month.

The 28-year-old spoke to the club’s official website at the Juventus Center and said: “I am happy to be a new part of this club, this big family.

“Over the next four years I hope to win all the championships, all the titles and together we are very strong.

“I feel very happy. I’m very excited, I can’t wait to see all the team-mates over the next two days and also to see the training centre. I’ll be happy to start with my new club Juventus.

“Juventus is a big honour. It’s a new step in my career and I’m so proud to play for this big club with a big history. I’d like to have big success with this club.”

Fellow off-season recruits, strike duo Simone Zaza and Paulo Dybala, also experienced the training complex for the first time ahead of the team’s official returning to training on Thursday.

Zaza, who joined the Serie A champions from Sassuolo for €18million, is relishing the opportunity of winning silverware in Turin.

“Now I have everything it takes to finally become a great player. I want to do well and to win, something I am not accustomed to,” said the Italy international.

“I want to immediately settle into the winning mentality of Juventus.”
