Genoa have confirmed the signing of striker Giuseppe Sculli from Lazio for an undisclosed fee.

Sculli, 30, had been strongly linked with a move away from the Stadio Olimpico this month despite making 11 league appearances for Lazio this season.

The forward returns to his former club Genoa one year after being sold to Lazio for a reported €3 million.

A statement from the club read: "Beppe Sculli returns to Genoa, where he played from 2006 until 2011. He has strongly wanted this move and the agreement between the clubs has been reached.''

Sculli is the second striker to arrive to Genoa this month with the Liguria club having previously acquired Alberto Gilardino from Fiorentina.
