As the transfer window drew to a close, Fiorentina secured the signing of Greece international Panagiotis Kone from Udinese with his former club announcing the deal at almost 9:30 pm local time.
He arrives with plenty of Serie A experience after scoring 14 goals in 158 outings for Brescia, Bologna and Udinese, but has struggled with injury this term which has limited him to just two league starts for the Friulian side.
