Barcelona are making a surprise deadline day move for Fiorentina attacker Federico Chiesa.

Eager to find attacking signings before the transfer window shuts, Barca have opened talks with Fiorentina for Chiesa, reports Premium Sport.

The deal is being driven by Barca director Ariedo Braida.

Chiesa is the son of former Italy international Enrico Chiesa and been linked with Serie A's biggest clubs this summer.
