Tyronne Ebuehi has reunited with his coach at Venezia, Paolo Zanetti, at Serie A club Empoli.
Ebuehi, 26, has signed a three-year permanent deal with Empoli after he was released by Portuguese giants Benfica.
Last season, the rightback played on loan at Venezia in Serie A, where he played 19 games.
Ebuehi has been unlucky with injuries, but it is expected that with the confidence he will enjoy from coach Zanetti, he will enjoy a better run in the new campaign.
