Coming from a very good season start (4 goals in 7 games played), at his first Fiorentina season, French 34-year old forward Cyril Thereau's choice to leave Udinese and join Viola was explained by Davide Lasaracina, his agent, who, interviewed by FirenzeViola.it, stated: "He chose Fiorentina because it was the right place for him to join. Mister Pioli's presence made a difference, since Cyril had already worked with him at Chievo, and they made a very good match with each other. Besides, Fiorentina are a great club. He said yes soon after their request, after Sampdoria made a move for signing him as well". Former Udinese player is currently on a deal with Viola until June 2019.
