Fiorentina forward linked with Premier League switch

Josip Ilicic has been linked with a move away from Serie A, after not enjoying the best of times with Fiorentina this season.

The 26-year-old was an unused substitute for La Viola against Hellas Verona on Sunday, which set the tone of how the former Palermo man has struggled under Fiorentina coach Vincenzo Montella.

According to the Sunday People, the Slovenian has a host of clubs prepare offers for him such as English Premier League outfit Aston Villa along with some Serie A interest from Torino and Napoli.

Ilicic has scored four goals in 31 appearances for Fiorentina after signing La Viola for €9 million in 2013. The Slovenian has however failed to make much of an impact and, as such, would be looking for a way out.
