Christian Kouamé has joined Empoli on loan from Fiorentina, the club confirmed just hours before the transfer window closed.
The 27-year-old Ivorian striker, who has struggled for playing time, hopes the move will reignite his career.
Kouamé has featured in 18 matches for Fiorentina this season, providing only two assists.
Seeking more opportunities on the pitch, he sees Empoli as a chance to regain form and make a fresh impact in Serie A.
The forward has not received a national team call-up since September and remains determined to earn his place back in the Côte d’Ivoire squad.
With consistent performances at Empoli, he hopes to wear the Elephants’ jersey once again in the near future.
