Fiorentina complete signing of Gheorghe Hagi's son from FC Viitorul

Fiorentina have signed Ianis Hagi, the son of Romania great Gheorghe Hagi, from FC Viitorul.
The Serie A club announced the arrival of Hagi, a forward who will be 18 in October, on their official website.
His father, the founder and owner of Viitorul, has been quoted as saying his son is a better player than he was at the same age.
Speaking to The Times last year, he said: "He has talent and all the mental qualities. He plays with emotion, he is generous, he works for the team.
"He can provide assists, he makes decisions quickly and he's good with both feet -- I was always on my left foot.
"He has a lot of work to do, of course, but he is growing all of the time. We need to polish him, but he is better than I was when I was the same age.
"He will be captain of Romania one day."
Ianis Hagi made 31 league appearances for Viitorul last season, scoring three goals, and has represented Romania at youth level up to the under-18s.
