Empoli have officially signed striker Antonino La Gumina from Palermo on a five-year contract.

La Gumina appeared to be closing in on a move to Sampdoria, but Empoli have snuck in for the 22-year-old, who scored 12 goals in 33 appearances for Palermo last season.

The attacker, who has represented Italy at both Under-20 and B level, is thought to have warranted a transfer fee of ‘at least €8m’.
