Barcelona striker Keirrison is delighted with his loan move to Fiorentina.

The 21-year-old striker arrives on a two-year loan from Barcelona, primarily as Adrian Mutu's replacement.

"Fiorentina followed me even when I was at Coritiba so when my agents informed me of the chance to go to Florence I replied that it was the best choice because I knew that I would be going to a place where the people have always held me in high regard."
