Giampaolo Pazzini has delighted to be calling Christian Vieri a Fiorentina teammate.

"Vieri is a valuable addition to the side," the 22-year-old insisted. "He's a great champion and should be given the warmest of welcomes.

"There's so much to learn from him. Of course there's his great eye for goal, but there are other secrets he can teach us as well."
