Kevin-Prince Boateng welcomes Ribery to Fiorentina

The former Bayern Munich star completed a free transfer to the Serie A club on Wednesday

Fiorentina forward Kevin-Prince Boateng has welcomed Franck Ribery to the club following the completion of his permanent move.

After departing Bayern Munich at the end of last season, Ribery penned a two-year deal with the Viola to become their seventh signing of the summer.

The Frenchman's arrival is expected to boost the attacking options inÂ Vincenzo Montella's squad as they aim for a place in Europe this term.

Boateng who joined Fiorentina from Sassuolo last month, is relishing the opportunity to play alongside his former opponent in the German Bundesliga.
