Arthur Melo arrives in Florence for medical at Fiorentina ahead of move from Juventus, after injury-ravaged loan spell at Liverpool

Former Liverpool midfielder Arthur Melo arrived in Florence on Thursday night to undergo a medical at Fiorentina.

The 26-year-old is set to join Fiorentina on an initial loan deal, with the club having the option to buy him permanently from Juventus for €20m (£17.3m).

The move means Arthur will be back in Italy next season after spending last year at Anfield.

He had a nightmare spell in England, making just one Champions League appearance for the Reds and failing to feature in the Premier League.

His campaign was badly disrupted by an injury that required surgery, making him unavailable for Jurgen Klopp's men for the majority of the season.
