Aston Villa midfielder Jordan Veretout is undergoing a medical at Fiorentina today ahead of a switch to the Italian outfit.

The French midfielder’s future has been subject to much speculation since he returned from a loan spell with French club Saint-Etienne at the end of last season.




The Ligue 1 club were interested in signing him on a permanent deal and booked a medical for him last week after agreeing a fee with Villa but the player snubbed a move to France once Fiorentina entered the chase.

The Serie A side have agreed a fee worth €7m with Villa and the player seems to be convinced about a move to Italy as according to Italian broadcaster Premium Sport, he is undergoing a medical with Fiorentina today.
 


Once he successfully completes a medical, he is expected to put pen to paper on a contract with Fiorentina and complete a permanent switch from Aston Villa this summer.
