Roma complete signing of Copenhagen goalkeeper Robin Olsen

Roma have confirmed that they have completed a deal for Copenhagen goalkeeper Robin Olsen.

The Italian giants announced last week that Alisson Becker had left for Liverpool, and it quickly became apparent that Olsen had been identified as the Brazil international's replacement.

Roma have now revealed that Olsen has penned a five-year contract at the Stadio Olimpico, with the Serie A side shelling out an initial €8.5m (£7.56m) for the Sweden number one.

The 28-year-old told the club's official website: "I'm feeling happy, I'm very excited. It's a big honour to come to AS Roma. It's the next step for me and I cannot wait to get started."

Olsen - who has just helped his country reach the quarter-finals of the World Cup - leaves Copenhagen having made 99 appearances in all competitions.
