Norwich City have wrapped up the signing of former Arsenal striker Arturo Lupoli on a season-long loan from Italian club Fiorentina.
The 21-year-old spent three seasons with the Gunners, but made only a handful of appearances before heading back to his homeland to join Fiorentina in the summer of 2007.
However, he was almost immediately loaned out to Serie B side Treviso, where he also struggled to make his mark.
City chairman Roger Munby told the club's official website: "This is an exciting signing which reflects the ambition of Glenn Roeder and Norwich City Football Club as we approach the start of the new season."
Lupoli himself added: "I am very happy to be here and hope to contribute for a great season for Norwich City and to be successful.
"I spoke to the manager and I really feel that he wants me here."
