AS Roma chief Tiago Pinto has welcomed new signing Dean Huijsen.

The defender arrives on-loan from Juventus.

Pinto said: "Despite his young age, we believe that Huijsen can immediately offer his contribution in this second part of the season.

"Thanks to the quality of our boys, I am sure that his integration process into the locker room will be very rapid and that Dean in turn will be able to integrate quickly into the new context."

Huijsen joins Roma in a straight loan.
