Chelsea's Marin set for Fiorentina loan

Chelsea winger Marko Marin is undergoing a medical with Fiorentina with a view to joining the Serie A club on a season-long loan.

The 25-year-old German has made a limited impact at Stamford Bridge since arriving from Werder Bremen in 2012 and spent the 2013-14 campaign on loan with Sevilla.

A statement published through Fiorentina's official Twitter account on Monday said the player was in Florence to undergo medical examinations ahead of a prospective move to Florence.

Should Marin link up with the side that finished fourth in Serie A last term, his arrival will cast doubt on the long-term future of Fiorentina's right winger Juan Cuadrado, who has been linked to Manchester United and Barcelona.
