Tottenham Hotspur defender Vlad Chiriches is reportedly set to join Serie A side Fiorentina on a season-long loan deal with a view to a permanent move.
The 25-year-old centre-back made just eight Premier League starts for Spurs last season and according to Sky Italia, is set to join La Viola on loan with a £6 million option available for next summer.
Signed from Steau Bucaresti in the summer of 2013 with the money received for Gareth Bale's move to Real Madrid, the Romanian defender has struggled for form and fitness, making just 24 top-flight starts in two seasons.
In total Chiriches made 48 appearances in all competitions for Spurs during his two seasons at White Hart Lane, scoring twice.
