Goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu has joined Torino after ending his contract with Paris Saint-Germain by mutual agreement.

The 30-year-old, who has won 17 caps for Italy, returns to Serie A five years after leaving Palermo for PSG.

His arrival in Turin comes after the club opted not to pursue a permanent deal for Joe Hart, who spent last season on loan from Manchester City.
