Serie A minnows Cesena have snapped up Fiorentina defender Dias Felipe.

Felipe will join the top-flight strugglers for the rest of the campaign.

Cesena, who were linked with Nicola Legrottaglie before he joined Milan from Juventus, completed talks just hours before the January transfer window slammed shut.

Felipe, who spent eight years with Udinese, has had a problematic spell with the Viola in recent times.
