Barcelona's Brazilian striker Keirrison will join Fiorentina on loan until June 2011, the Serie A outfit confirmed on Monday.

Keirrison becomes the sixth reinforcement for the Viola in the winter transfer window.

A statement from Fiorentina read: "Fiorentina announce they have reached an agreement with Barcelona for the temporary acquisition of Keirrison for the next two seasons.

"The deal will be completed after the player passes a medical in the next few hours."

The 21-year-old Keirrison joined Barcelona last summer on a 14milllion euro transfer deal from Palmeiras.

He was loaned to Portuguese side Benfica earlier this season.

The South American is under contract with the Primera Division champions until June 2014.
