Fiorentina seeks to acquire winger Ernest Poku from Bayer Leverkusen

Fiorentina is reportedly working on acquiring Bayer Leverkusen winger Ernest Poku, as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season. The 22-year-old Dutch player, who enjoyed a solid first Bundesliga season with five goals and five assists, fits the Fiorentina system under coach Fabio Grosso. Sources suggest Fiorentina may offer around €30 million for Poku, who is open to the move, although Leverkusen is not under pressure to sell after signing him for €10 million last summer. The addition of Poku could enhance Fiorentina's offensive options and contribute to their vision of a more dynamic attack.
