Krzysztof Piatek has arrived in Florence where he will undergo a medical and join Fiorentina on loan from Hertha Berlin with option to buy.
The 26-year-old Poland international flew in this afternoon and was greeted at the airport by media and supporters.
He had been close to a return to his old club Genoa, but the Viola dived in and secured Piatek on loan with an option to buy for circa €15-16m.
Piatek is no stranger to Serie A, playing for Genoa and then Milan before his sale to Hertha Berlin for €24m in January 2020.

How hum. what excitement. Another average player comes back to Serie A
Great deal by ex-Inter defender Nicolas Burdisso who is now Sporting Director of Fiorentina.
Good luck to him. Fondly remembered by me as a Milan fan, but fell to the curse of the number 9.
A clear improvement on Callejon, Sottil or, lol, Kokorin
I am not sure I like this transfer, but he is indeed an improvement on Kokorin and Callejon, so it wont be worse
