Hellas Verona have been the busiest Serie A side in the January transfer window, with more than 10 players leaving the club over the course of the last month as well as eight new additions with the arrival of Karol Swiderski on Thursday evening.
The 27-year-old striker Swiderski joins on a permanent transfer from MLS side Charlotte FC, where he registered 22 league goals from 62 appearances spread across two seasons.

Verona also confirmed the signing of 33-year-old centre-back Stefan Mitrovic on Thursday, a permanent signing from LaLiga outfit Getafe.
Swiderski and Mitrovic are Verona’s seventh and eighth arrivals following the permanent signings of Tijjani Neslin, Dani Silva, Elayis Tavsan and Reda Belhayane.
Recent reports suggest that Verona have now also deposited contracts with the Lega Serie A for the signing of right-back Fabien Centonze from Nantes.
They had also attempted to bring Vitoria Guimaraes forward Andre Silva in, but reports from Gianluca Di Marzio claim that the necessary documents were not completed in time before the Serie A deadline.

They have also made Tomas Suslov’s loan permanent this month and brought in former Wolves left-back Ruben Viniagre on loan.
Even more eye-catching is the list of Verona’s outgoing players this window. Verona are into double figures for departures after Thursday’s sale of Jordi Mboula to Racing Santander.
