Official Announcement
Fiorentina have officially completed the permanent signing of midfielder Arthur Atta from Udinese. The club confirmed the transfer on Saturday, bringing an end to the speculation surrounding the highly-rated Frenchman.
Atta joins Fiorentina after impressing in Serie A with Udinese, where he established himself as a dynamic box-to-box presence. The move is part of a broader midfield refresh under new head coach Raffaele Palladino.
What Atta Brings
The 22-year-old is known for his engine, tackling, and ability to arrive late in the box. He scored three goals in 34 league appearances last season and is expected to compete for a starting spot immediately.

Fiorentina's Busy Window
Atta is not the only new face at the Artemio Franchi. The club are also on the verge of sealing a loan for Alex Jimenez from Bournemouth, with the defender currently suspended by his parent club pending an investigation into social media allegations.
However, their pursuit of forward Tolu Arokodare hit a snag after Wolves rejected an initial offer from the Viola, leaving the striker's future uncertain.
"Arthur is a player we have admired for a long time. His qualities fit our philosophy perfectly," said Fiorentina sporting director Daniele Pradè in an official statement.
Atta is expected to join his new teammates for pre-season training this week.
