Faouzi Ghoulam Saint-EtienneTorino are apparently amidst completing negotiations with Siena striker Marcelo Larrondo and Saint-Etienne defender Faouzi Ghoulam.

According to SportMediaset, the Toro are close to finalising deals with the players and could officially announce their signings sometime this week.

The 24-year-old Larrondo hails from Argentina and joined Siena in 2008. He spent the second half of the 2012-13 campaign on loan with Fiorentina, where he scored two goals in his seven league appearances.

Faouzi Ghoulam is a 22-year-old who was brought up through the Saint-Etienne youth camp and has spent his entire professional career, which started in 2010, with the club. The French-Algerian youngster made his debut with the Algeria national team earlier this year during a FIFA 2014 World Cup qualifier against Benin and had an assist in his country’s 3-1 victory.

Torino lost talented defender Angelo Ogbonna to Juventus this summer, but have made up for it so far by already signing players like Nikola Maksimovic from Red Star Belgrade and Ciro Immobile from Genoa.
