Saints sign Ussumane Djaló on youth loan
Southampton Football Club is pleased to welcome Ussumane Djaló to the club’s Academy on a youth loan from FC Porto B.
The 19-year-old midfielder joins the club until the end of the season to link up with the Under-21s side, subject to a work permit.
Djaló, who has been capped by Portugal's U15-U19 national sides, began his fledgling career in Benfica's academy before joining Porto and featuring for their B Team in Portugal's second division and the UEFA Youth League.
Academy Director, Andy Goldie, said: "We look forward to supporting Ussumane's development within the Under-21s programme over the remainder of the season, having been impressed with his progress at club and international level.
"He's an interesting prospect who strengthens our pathway in midfield and provides much-needed competition in our Under-21s group."
