ACF Fiorentina on Friday announced it had signed young Brazilian midfielder Gerson Da Silva on loan for one football season from AS Roma.

The 21-year-old Gerson started his professional career at Fluminense in 2014 and joined Roma for 16 million euro ($18.74 million) two years later, reports Efe.

His first season at Roma was complicated, as he fell out of favour with coach Luciano Spalletti and made only 11 appearances with the Serie A club in all competitions.

During the 2017-2018 campaign, however, under new Roma coach Eusebio Di Francesco, Gerson played 31 matches, scoring two goals.

The only two goals he scored last season were against Fiorentina in Roma's 4-2 win.

 

Gerson became Fiorentina's fourth signing this summer, following French goalkeeper Alban Lafont, Italian defender Federico Ceccherini and Danish midfielder Christian Norgaard.
