Report: John Guidetti poised for Palermo switch

Palermo are reportedly closing in on the signing of Manchester City striker John Guidetti.

The 22-year-old was linked with a switch to Fiorentina in recent days but, according to the Daily Mail, Palermo have stolen a march on their Serie A rivals.

Guidetti, whose City contract expires next summer, made just one senior appearance for the Citizens in his six-year spell at Eastlands.

The youngster has one Sweden cap to his name, making his international debut against Croatia back in 2012.
