True to his word, Sandro arrived in Turin this morning and Juventus have released pictures on twitter of the 24 year old walking into the medical centre.

Juventus are not exactly short of options at left-back, but Sandro will certainly come in and keep the likes of Patrice Evra, Kwadwo Asamoah and Paolo De Ceglie on their toes.

It brings an end to a four-year stay in Portugal for Alex Sandro, during which time he has collected two league titles with Porto.

However, the Portuguese giants were confident of keeping him at the club and there was speculation that he was on the verge of signing a new contract.

The Italian champions announced his arrival through their official Twitter account, with the 24-year-old left-back having already been welcomed by Massimiliano Allegri and Giuseppe Marotta on Wednesday. He helped the Selecao win the Under-20 World Cup in 2011 and was later part of the Under-23 side at the 2012 Olympic Games, taking home a silver medal.
