Fiorentina admits interest in Borini and Osvaldo

Fiorentina sporting director Daniele Prade has admitted the club is interested in bringing Liverpool's Fabio Borini and Roma's Pablo Osvaldo to Stadio Artemio Franchi.

Despite signing Giuseppe Rossi in the January transfer window, reports of interest in striker Stevan Jovetic has led the Viola looking at attacking alternatives.

Borini and Osvaldo played together for Roma before the former moved to Anfield in the summer, and even though Prade revealed the club's interest in the pair, he admitted it may be difficult to lure them away from their current teams.

"We are looking for a forward with the hunger for goals. A player who lives to score goals," he told Radio Toscana. "We like Fabio Borini, but it is unlikely that Liverpool will want to let him go. Osvaldo? I do not think that Roma will want to strengthen a direct rival of theirs, but you can never say never."

Vincenzo Montella's side is currently sixth in Serie A, 13 points behind leaders Juventus, and the club has scored the fourth-most goals in the league with 45 goals.

Spurs, Juventus and Fiorentina set an eye on Pablo Osvaldo

There have been some reports emerge that Tottenham Hotspur will struggle it out with Juventus and Fiorentina for Roma Striker Daniel Osvaldo, as they look to strengthen in this month’s window.
The forward, who is in his second season at Roma, has already hit nine league goals this term and is close to matching his tally of 11 from last year.
The Argentina-born striker, who has been capped six times by Italy, was on Spurs’ radar during the summer but ended up staying in the Italian capital.
Fiorentina have enjoyed a strong start to the season and want to add more firepower next month as they look to sustain their challenge for a Champions League place.

With Spurs only having two decent strikers, they are in need of bringing somebody in and boss Andre Villas-Boas has targeted a top player, but the battle he may have on his hands might mean that he does not get his man.
