Fiorentina striker Giuseppe Rossi has returned to Spain after agreeing a loan deal with Levante.

The American-born forward’s future at the Viola was put into further doubt this week as the club signed Mauro Zarate from West Ham, and now his destination for the rest of the season at least has been decided.

La Liga side Levante took to their website to officially confirm their signing of Rossi.

Spanish strugglers Levante will have the player until the summer, where it is believed they will also hold the option of making the transfer permanent.

Rossi has struggled with persistent injury problems since joining Fiorentina in 2012 from Villarreal, and didn’t play at all last season.

This season, he managed to make 11 goalless appearances for Fiorentina in the league, although he did score twice in European competition for Paulo Sousa’s team.
