Published on: 11 July 2016

Serie A side Fiorentina have signed Romanian youth international Ianis Hagi, who is the son of Tricolorii great Gheorghe, from Liga I club Viitorul Constanta.

The 17-year-old has already represented his country five times at the Under-17 level and he can play either as an attacking midfielder or a right-winger.

According to violanews.com, the Gigliati and Viitorul were having discussions about the starlet for a while and a deal for the attacking midfielder was completed on Sunday.

Hagi has been playing for Viitorul for two seasons and he has already been awarded the captaincy despite his tender age.

He played 31 Liga I matches in the 2015-16 season, scoring three goals and assisting two others.

Although he has represented Romania at youth level, Hagi was born in Istanbul, Turkey when his father was playing his club football for Turkish giants Galatasaray.
