We exclusively gathered that the deal is for an initial loan period before a decision will be made on signing him permanently if he impresses at the end of this season. All papers for the deal have been signed by all involved in the transfer.
He was scouted at a recent trip by scout of the team after impressing with his powerful left foot and also impressive ability on the ball. He is also very strong and also quick.
