MILAN - Serie A strugglers Fiorentina
completed the signing of West Ham United's Switzerland
international Valon Behrami on Wednesday.
A club statement said the 25-year-old midfielder had signed
a permanent deal for an undisclosed fee after the move had
looked to be off earlier in January.
English Premier League bottom side West Ham have already
replaced the former Lazio player with Gary O'Neil, 27, who
arrived from Middlesbrough on a two-and-a-half-year deal on Monday.
Behrami made 63 appearances for the east London side,
scoring five goals, after joining the club in 2008.
Fiorentina have been trying to sell rebel striker Adrian
Mutu to a foreign club but latest media reports say the Romanian
could stay in Florence having sacked his agent.
