Juventus have completed the signing of Stephan Lichtsteiner from Lazio in a 10million euro deal, the Turin club has confirmed.
The Switzerland international has moved north on a four-year contract, the club said in a statement.
The 27-year-old full-back moved to Lazio from Lille in the summer of 2008 and was under contract with the Biancoceleste for a further year.
Lichtsteiner has been a target of Juventus in recent months, with the Bianconeri looking to strengthen their defensive line, which was one of their main weaknesses last term.
