Fiorentina striker Alberto Gilardino has pledged his long-term future to the club despite reports of a summer move away from the Artemio Franchi.

The Italy striker took his tally to 23 goals in his first season with La Viola after scoring twice in the 4-1 weekend victory over AS Roma.

Fiorentina currently occupy the fourth and final Champions League qualifying place and the striker, who swapped AC Milan for Florence last summer, is delighted with how his first season has progressed.

Gilardino joined Fiorentina in a 15million euro deal after struggling to hold down a starting place with the Rossoneri.

"It would be important to become a leader of this team, remaining for many years with this shirt, something which I really want to do," he said.
