“I’m excited to get started and meet my team-mates. Viola Park is a beautiful place, I can’t wait to train and embark on this new adventure”, Harrison told his new club’s official channel.

Playing in Italy is a new experience for the Leeds United player, who is prepared to soak it all up.

“It’s a new experience for me, but I’m always open to it.

“I haven’t been there [to Florence] yet, so if anyone has any suggestions, I’m ready to listen.”  

The Leeds winger also took time to speak about his interactions with Fiorentina coach Paolo Vanoli.

“I’ve spoken to him, and he seems great in every way. Everyone here is kind, they welcomed me very well.

“I promise all Viola fans that I will give my all for this jersey and that I will work on my Italian.”

Fiorentina have confirmed that Harrison will be wearing the number 17 shirt at the club during his stay.

Harrison’s Fiorentina debut could well come this coming weekend when they play host to Cagliari in Serie A.
