Lauri Dalla Valle joins Dundee United on loan

Fulham forward Lauri Dalla Valle has joined Dundee United on loan until January 16.

The Scottish club also have the option to extend the loan of the Finnish Under-21 international to the end of the season.

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

Tangerines Boss Peter Houston told the club's website: "Lauri is a player I have been aware of for some time.

"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.

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