Milan striker Christian Vieri trained with Monaco yesterday after having a final medical test and will be officially announced as the Ligue 1 club's latest signing today.

"Vieri came to Monaco to settle the last details of his contract. The deal will be announced tomorrow at 11.30 a.m.," Monaco press officer Sonia Diaz told journalists at the end of the training session yesterday.

The 32-year-old Vieri joined Milan from city rivals Inter last summer on a two-year deal but struggled to win a regular place in the team.

He has scored only two goals this season, the last in a 3-1 win over Serie B side Brescia in an Italian Cup match at the end of November and recently said he was worried over his international place in World Cup year.

Last month he won the Golden Flop award, a prize awarded to Serie A's worst player based on the votes of listeners to Catersport, which is produced by RAI, Italy's state broadcaster.
