Empoli have successfully finalized a deal to bring in a new attacking talent to bolster their squad. Christian Kouamé, the 27-year-old Ivorian forward, is set to join Empoli from Fiorentina on a straight loan agreement.
Gianluca Di Marzio reports that Kouamé, who returned to Fiorentina after a stint with Anderlecht in the 2021-22 season, will now embark on a new challenge with Empoli. The move comes after weeks of speculation and negotiations, with several clubs showing interest in the versatile attacker.
The transfer represents a significant boost for Empoli, who have been in the market for offensive reinforcements. Kouamé’s arrival is expected to provide additional firepower and depth to their attacking options for the remainder of the season.
For Fiorentina, the loan deal allows them to give Kouamé more playing time, which he had been struggling to secure consistently in their squad. The move also opens up possibilities for Fiorentina to pursue other targets in the final hours of the transfer window.
