Fiorentina is facing a crisis on the wing due to injuries and player absences

The club is looking to sign Hellas Verona forward Cyril Ngonge as a solution

Ngonge, who has been linked with Aston Villa, could provide muchneeded pace and versatility for Fiorentina's attack

Fiorentina is in dire need of reinforcements on the wing, with key players injured or absent. This has prompted the club's sporting director Daniele Prade to pursue a deal for Hellas Verona forward Cyril Ngonge.

The 23yearold Belgian had previously been linked with a move to Aston Villa but now seems poised to join Fiorentina instead. With Nicolas Gonzalez and Riccardo Sottil sidelined by injuries and Christian Kouame away at AFCON, there are limited options available for Fiorentina on the wings.

Ngonge's potential arrival would bring muchneeded pace and versatility to their attacking lineup. He has impressed this season with 5 goals and 2 assists while demonstrating his ability to play in various roles across the frontline.

However, there are some concerns about possible overlap between Ngonge and Gonzalez given their similar playing styles. Additionally, questions have been raised about his ball possession skills.

Despite these considerations, Prade has made contact with Hellas Verona in an effort to secure Ngonge’s transfer quickly. It remains unclear whether he will be able address all of Fiorentina’s current deficiencies on the wing.

With negotiations ongoing between both clubs' directors Sean Sogliano (Hellas) , it appears that an agreement may be reached soon which would significantly bolstering Viola’s squad depth ahead of what promises should prove tough second half campaign .

In conclusion however if they can seal this deal without any major hitches then Ngonbe might just offer perfect balance needed within our team especially when considering recent performances from other wingers like Josip Brekalo whose future at Artemio Franchi looks uncertain .
