Dundee Utd sign Fulham striker Dalla Valle

Dundee United have signed Fulham striker Lauri Dalla Valle on-loan to January.

The Finland under-21 international will move to Tannadice from Craven Cottage until January 16.

The 19-year-old moved to Fulham from Liverpool in August 2010 as part of the deal which took Paul Konchesky to Anfield.

United manager Peter Houston said: "Lauri is a player I have been aware of for some time, having seen him play at Liverpool.

"Once I knew he was available and knowing how highly he is rated by Fulham's reserve coach Billy McKinlay, I wanted him signed up quickly.

"This loan arrangement will provide the opportunity for him to further develop his potential at first-team level whilst adding a much-needed striking option to our first-team squad.

"He clearly has a big future ahead of him and it's great that he knows he can enhance his development here at Tannadice."
