Fiorentina boss Cesare Prandelli has heaped praise on striker Keirrison after the Brazilian helped his side secure a 2-2 draw against Serie A leaders Inter. Keirrison is currently on loan in Florence from La Liga giants Barcelona and whether he could remain in Italy beyond the end of this season is unclear, however if he does Prandelli is sure he will flourish.

"Keirrison has the qualities to do well in Italy" said Prandelli, "In this moment he is understanding Italian football."

The Fiorentina coach also stated that the club’s doctors and fitness staff had to do much work with the young Brazilian upon his arrival and it took time to prepare him for the rigours of Serie A football.

While Barcelona appreciate the potential of their young star it is possible he could remain in Italy, if only on loan, next season.
