Palermo have completed the signing of defender Ondrej Celustka and goalkeeper Francesco Benussi on loan.

Czech defender Celustka has moved to the Serie A side from Slavia Prague until the end of the season, and the Italian side will then have the option of signing him on a permanent deal.

Slavia director general Petr Dolezal said Palermo's final offer for the player was 'very good', but the exact amount to change hands was not revealed.

Meanwhile, goalkeeper Benuussi has also moved to the Stadio Renzo Barbera on loan, from Lecce, until the end of the current campaign.
