Swansea City has bolstered its attack Friday, signing 26-year-old Italian striker Alberto Paloschi from Chievo on a three-and-a-half-year deal for a reported €8 million fee.

The AC Milan academy product joins the Swans following a five-year spell with the Verona side where he made 139 appearances since signing from Genoa in 2011.

Palsochi has eight goals and two assists in 21 Serie A appearances this season on the heels of 22 goals over the last two campaigns for the Gialloblu. He'll provide relief for Swans striker Andre Ayew, who called the striker's position his own following the gradual decline of Bafetimbi Gomis.
