AS Roma legend Francesco Totti says his former club “needed” Javier Pastore.
The 29-year-old Argentine midfielder, who previously enjoyed a two-season spell in Serie A with Palermo, ended a seven-year association with French powerhouse Paris Saint-Germain by joining the Giallorossi this summer.
Someone who’s excited by his arrival is Totti, who now performs as a club director for his boyhood club and has cited the good qualities he brings.
“We all know him, he has quality and consistency,” he wrote on Twitter (via Football Italia).
“This squad needed him, especially at this moment, he’s an exceptional lad who is open to everyone.
“He’s a top player and we’re happy to have him.”
Pastore in Paris
Pastore, who has earned 30 international caps with Argentina, relocated to Paris from southern Italy in the summer of 2011 and has gone on to feature in no fewer than 269 matches for PSG, subsequently winning five league titles.
Across those appearances, he has been involved in 107 goals – scoring 45 of those and creating a further 62 for his teammates.
During the 2017/18 season he made no fewer than 37 appearances under Unai Emery in all competitions; of those, 25 came in Ligue 1, though Pastore started in 14 matches and completed the full 90 minutes on just six occasions.
