Floriana FC to complete double signing after striking deal for Reid and Gimenez

Floriana FC are set to bring in two quality additions they have been craving for after they have agreed terms with Sirens FC over the signing of Kemar Reid and will also bring in Argentine midfielder Brian Gimenez.

The Greens have been looking to bolster their squad during the January transfer window and the signing of a forward was high on the ranking list for coach Gianluca Atzori.

Floriana targeted Reid as the perfect addition and earlier this month they had offered a pre-contract to the powerful forward whose contract with the St Paul’s Bay club expires at the end of the season.

However, despite this agreement, Floriana have continued in their pursuit to bring the Jamaican forward during this month’s window but found their efforts thwarted by Sirens.

Still, the Greens’ top hierarchy kept persisting in their efforts and they have finally struck a deal with Sirens that will see them sign Reid.

The Jamaican forward is expected to put pen to paper on an 18-month-deal with the Greens.

On the other hand, the Greens have been scouring the market for a midfielder and they identified Brian Gimenez as a priority for this month.

The 25-year-old is expected to put pen to paper on a deal until the end of the season, with an option of extending it for another season.

In his career, Gimenez played in his homeland as he was on the books of CA Claypole and Tristan Suarez before heading to Barracas Bolivar.
