Premier League outfit Brentford have successfully secured the services of Italy-born Nigerian defender, Michael Kayode.
The 20-year-olod right-back joins the Premier League club from Fiorentina until the end of the season with an option to buy.
Kayode made 12 appearances for Fiorentina and provided an assists across the period. He is expected to a play a huge role for the club.
Brentford director of football Phil Giles said: “Michael is a player that we think will suit Brentford and the physical nature of the Premier League very well.
“We have watched him for a while, and he has probably been a bit unlucky not to play more games already this season.
“The structure of the deal gives us the chance to integrate him into the squad and Premier League football before we look towards making the deal permanent from the summer.”
Kayode has already featured for the Italy U21 team but is still eligible to play for the Nigeria national team.
