Serie A Deadline Day: Juve and Inter busy as window closes

Juventus added Mario Lemina and Hernanes to their midfield as the Serie A champions bolstered their squad on transfer deadline day after a poor start to the new season.

Massimiliano Allegri's men have begun the campaign with successive league defeats following a significant revamp during the close-season.

And the Turin club have clearly identified the midfield - shorn of Arturo Vidal and Andrea Pirlo in pre-season - as a weak point, signing Marseille's Lemina on loan with an option to buy and bringing in Hernanes from Inter on a three-year deal worth €11million.

Roma, having beaten Juve 2-1 on Sunday, completed deals for Dinamo Moscow's William Vainqueur, Newell's Old Boys' Ezequiel Ponce and Santos defender Emerson Palmieri.

Milan missed out on Zenit's Alex Witsel as Hachim Mastour and Alessandro Matri left for loan spells at Malaga and Lazio respectively.
