Lokomotiv Moscow sign Ziegler

Lokomotiv Moscow have announced they have signed Reto Ziegler from Juventus on a one-year loan deal.

Lokomotiv were keen to bring some fresh blood to their squad, and new head coach Slaven Bilic has now been able to add a new defender to their ranks on deadline day of the Russian transfer window.

Ziegler, 26, was desperate to leave Juventus after being deemed surplus to requirements by coach Antonio Conte, and will now be looking to relaunch his career at the Russian outfit, who he has the option to join permanently at the end of the loan spell.

The Switzerland international joined Juve from Sampdoria in 2011, but was shipped out on loan to Fenerbahce last term before making a single official appearance for the Turin giants.
