Serie A side Fiorentina have confirmed the imminent signing of Colombia international midfielder Carlos Sanchez from Aston Villa.

La Viola have been in talks with the English Championship side to land Sanchez and have now got their man.
 



Fiorentina have confirmed a loan deal for the defensive midfielder, who is due in Italy tomorrow to undergo a medical before then putting pen to paper on his contract at the club.

The 30-year-old joined Aston Villa in 2014 from Spanish side Elche and had also been attracting interest from French giants Marseille.
 


Sanchez was unable to help Aston Villa avoid relegation from the Premier League last season and will now look to turn over a new leaf on his season-long loan to Fiorentina.
