Fiorentina striker Giampaolo Pazzini has extended his contract through to 2011.

"I am proud to have extended my deal with Fiorentina, the club showed faith in me and I have faith in them," said Pazzini.

"The agreement was quick because there weren't any problems, this was something I have always wanted.

"I don't think our future will only depend on the first-team regulars we use. I want to put myself at the Coach's disposal, just as all my teammates do.

"I don't know how many forwards will play, everything will depend on the different situations and our opponents."
