Viola bring in two more players on deadline day

Fiorentina have confirmed the double swoop of former Juventus midfielder Ruben Olivera and Danish starlet Kenneth Zohore. Uruguay international Olivera joins from Serie A rivals Lecce, reportedly penning a two-and-a-half-year deal with the Tuscan club. Meanwhile, young striker Zohore signs from FC Cophenhagen for an undisclosed fee. Olivera, who was at Juventus from 2002 to 2010, had featured just 11 times for Lecce this season and made his feelings known that he was keen to move on to pastures new. The 18-year-old Zohore, who previously enjoyed trials at Chelsea and Inter Milan is widely tipped as one of the hottest prospects in the game and will now continue his career at the Stadio Artemio Franchi. Head coach Delio Rossi has already strengthened his squad during this window with the purchase of Amauri from Juventus, Guido Pizarro from Argentinean club Lanus and Mounir El Hamdaoui from Ajax.
