“I see Fiorentina as a choice in order to improve my career,” added the striker who will primarily be used as a back-up to the likes of Giuseppe Rossi and Mario Gomez.
“I’m happy with the competition for places here as I didn’t have that in Split.
“My strengths? My speed and my aggressiveness are my best qualities.”
