Vanden Borre for Viola

The young Belgian has been linked with a host of top European clubs and already has 15 caps for his country despite being just 19.

Now he looks set to continue his development in Serie A as his agent Antonio Stina told Radio Fiesole.

"There is an agreement between the player and the Viola and there is also one between the two clubs," he said.

“As a result, Vanden Borre isn't being used by the Belgian side currently because Anderlecht are trying out a few things without him in view of the future.

“When will he sign a contract with Fiorentina? Possibly even before June.”

Vanden Borre is expected to sign a three year deal with the transfer fee to be in the region of 3 millions euros (£2.1 million).

Fiorentina were also said to be interested in Anderlecht's Argentine striker Nicolas Frutos, but he has instead decided to stay in Belgium.

"I'm very happy, and at the moment I don't like the idea of playing in a larger competition, only Anderlecht count," he said.
