Roma have completed the signing of highly-rated attacking midfielder Ante Coric on a five-year deal.
Coric, 21, joins the Serie A side from Croatian champions Dinamo Zagreb for an initial fee of six million euros.
Speaking to the club's website, the midfielder said: "I am very pleased to be at Roma, one of the biggest European clubs.
"I have given everything to reach this level, and I cannot wait for the chance to start showing what I am capable of."
Coric has plenty of first-team experience under his belt, even at his tender age.
He made his Dinamo debut in 2014 – two days after his 17th birthday – and went on to make almost 150 appearances for the senior team.
He also has four Croatian First League titles and three Croatian Cup triumphs to his name.
