​Fiorentina have given fans a boost by tying former Real Madrid defender Marcos Alonso to a five-year deal that will see the Spaniard remain at the club until June 2021.

Alonso, 25, spent three seasons playing for Bolton Wanderers in the Premier League, before joining Fiorentina on a three-year contract in May 2013.

Although he spent six months on loan at Sunderland from January 2014, Alonso has become a key component of Paulo Sousa's Fiorentina squad.

Alonso has made 65 appearances in Serie A and the Europa League, forging a reputation as a hard-working left-back who can also play in midfield.

"Fiorentina announces the club has agreed terms on a new contract with Marcos Alonso," said a statement by the Serie A club. "The Spanish player has signed with the club until June 30 2021."
