Carlos Sanchez finally buggers off to Italy

Fiorentina have finally signed Colombia international Carlos Sanchez on loan from Aston Villa after a fair bit of wrangling.

The Viola released a statement late on Tuesday confirming they had secured a loan deal for the 30-year-old midfielder.

The loan deal is thought to be in the regionof €0.5m and Fiorentina have an option to buy that will become mandatory if he plays 50 per cent of their matches this season.

Sanchez never really looked the same player in a Villa shirt as he did when playing for Colombia.

Good luck in the future Carlos.
