The Senegalese forward is reported to have been the subject of interest from the Viola’s Serie A rivals Udinese, as well as several English Premier League clubs, during the course of this summer's transfer window.

However, Gazzetta dello Sport claim that the 24-year-old has opted to stay put in Florence.

However, Gazzetta dello Sport claim that the 24-year-old has opted to stay put in Florence.

In spite of the seemingly imminent arrival of Cyril Thereau from Sampdoria, Babacar is determined to fight for a place in Stefano Pioli’s first team plans.

Attention will now turn to signing a new contract, with Babacar’s current Artemio Franchi deal set to expire in 2019.
