Kevin Malcuit wants to ‘make up for lost time’ during his loan spell at Fiorentina, after injury problems playing for Napoli.
The full-back recovered from a knee injury, but couldn’t break back into the Napoli squad, so has been loaned to the Viola for six months.
“I have to say that I had two wonderful years at Napoli, even if I didn’t play much under the latest coach, partly due to fitness problems. I hope to make up for lost time in Florence,” said Malcuit in his press conference.

“I have to say that I had two wonderful years at Napoli, even if I didn’t play much under the latest coach, partly due to fitness problems. I hope to make up for lost time in Florence,” said Malcuit in his press conference.
“I want to get back to 100 per cent and I’m certain that I’ll find my form in Florence. I can play in any position on the right, so I’m at the total disposal of the coach.
“I knew Fiorentina were following me, but there wasn’t direct contact for a while. As soon as the proposal did come, I didn’t hesitate to say yes, as I’m proud to wear this jersey.
“I already spoke to Cesare Prandelli before the move and I liked him straight away. He immediately said that he has faith in me and wants me to play in my natural role. All players hope to hear that when they move clubs.”
Fiorentina director Daniele Pradè said during the press conference that they will consider making the move permanent at the end of the season.
“It’s too early to talk about that, I just want to focus on the present and having a great season,” replied Malcuit.
“It helps that I already know some of the players at Fiorentina, like Valentin Eysseric and Jose Callejon.”
