Serie A side Udinese have, as expected, confirmed the capture of Juventus midfielder Michele Pazienza.

The 29-year-old has joined the Stadio Friuli boys on loan for the rest of the season after Juve brought in Atalanta’s Simone Padoin.

The ball-winner made 52 appearances for Udinese during a two-season spell there between 2003 and 2005.
