Dani Osvaldo arrived in Buenos Aires on Wednesday to join his fourth club in 13 months.

The controversial footballer is in Argentina to complete a deal with one of the country's most accomplished clubs, Boca Juniors.

The move comes after yet another contentious period with a football club, with Inter Milan severing ties with the Italian forward and ending their loan deal with Southampton following a dispute with manager Roberto Mancini in January.

Although Southampton own his rights, the Saints virtually ended their association with Osvaldo in January of 2014 after he and a teammate had an altercation during training. The incident instigated a loan deal with Juventus, with whom Osvaldo played out the second half of the 2014 season.
