Fiorentina GM Barone: Why we chose Beltran

Fiorentina GM Joe Barone has welcomed new signing Lucas Beltran.

The Argentine striker has arrived this week from River Plate.

Barone said: "Lucas Beltran? A wanted, sought-after player, we've worked so hard and he's finally part of the Fiorentina family.

"Why the choice of Beltran? We have sent our scouts to follow him, we have another relationship with the president of River Plate whom I thank for this operation.

"A player for the future of Fiorentina, who fits well with our game system. We strongly wanted him, we are happy that he has chosen Fiorentina."
