Fiorentina eye Zahovic swoop

Zlatko Zahovic celebrates his opener against Yugoslavia

Slovenia striker Zlatko Zahovic has been linked with a move to Fiorentina following his dazzling display against Yugoslavia on Tuesday.

An official with the Slovenian side said the Olympiakos striker had held talks with the Italian Serie A side.

"He had talks with Fiorentia yesterday but at this stage there is nothing more to say," spokesman Rok Sinkovic said.

Fiorentina have already lost Argentine striker Gabriel Batistuta to Serie A rivals Roma, while Portugal midfielder Rui Costa has also said he has asked to leave the club.

Tottenham have also been linked with a £2m move for Zahovic.

But Sinkovic insisted: "Fiorentina is all I know of at the moment."

Zahovic, who was banned from playing for Olympiakos and fined around £40,000 for swearing at coach Alberto Bigon in April, has said he is eager to leave the Greek champions.
