Fiorentina set to sign Cuadrado from Udinese

Fiorentina are set to complete the signing of Juan Guillermo Cuadrado from Udinese, according to Tuttosport.



Viola officials are keen to reinforce the squad following one of the most disappointing seasons in their history and they are working around the clock to make the job easier for new boss Vincenzo Montella.



Tuttosport now claims that Fiorentina have already agreed to sign winger Juan Giullermo Cuadrado from Udinese.



The player will join Viola on a one-year loan, with an option to make the transfer permanent at the end of the season.



The highly rated winger arrived to Udinese from Colombian side Medellin in the summer of 2009 and made 19 Serie A appearances for Zebrette before joining Lecce on loan last summer.



The 24-year-old largely impressed during his loan spell at Via del Mare and has subsequently seen his name linked with top European sides.
