Roma sign Steven NZonzi from Sevilla

N’Zonzi, 29, moves to the Serie A club in a deal that could reach €30 million and has signed a four-year contract with the club.

“I am very happy and satisfied with being here at Roma,” Zonzi told Roma TV.

“Age doesn’t matter, but rather your desire to work hard and always give your best. I hope to bring some of my experience to the team.

“Director Monchi brought me to Sevilla and he helped me a great deal, so there is reciprocal respect. I am happy to be working with him again.

“The objective is to win trophies. We work hard and will do our best to achieve that. I thank the fans for welcoming me at the airport and promise to give my all. I hope to become important for Roma.”

N’Zonzi moves to the Italian capital after three seasons with Sevilla, with whom he won the 2015-16 Europa League.

The France star moved to the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán in 2015 after a six-year stint in England, where he played for Blackburn Rovers and Stoke City.
