Valencia youngster Rodrigo de Paul joins Racing Club on loan

Valencia have sent young midfielder Rodrigo de Paul on loan to Argentine side Racing Club.

De Paul joined Los Che from Racing in the summer of 2014, having spent 12 years with La Academia.

The 21-year-old has only scored one La Liga goal during a stop-start career with Valencia, however, and the attacker has been allowed to re-join his former club on loan for the remainder of the 2015-16 campaign.

Valencia secured the loan signings of Denis Cheryshev and Guilherme Siqueira from Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid respectively in the latter stages of the transfer window, but reportedly failed in a last-ditch attempt to bring Radamel Falcao back to Spain.

Gary Neville is still searching for his first league win in charge of Valencia, despite taking charge at the start of December.
