Porto to complete the signing of English U17 World Cup winner

Porto are to bring in highly rated English forward Danny Loader on a free transfer.

The 19-year old attacker, who won the U17 World Cup with England three years ago, scoring two goals in the process, was most recently on the books of English Championship club Reading.

Whilst with Reading, he played 38 senior games, 28 of which came in the English Championship, but only found the back of the net on two occasions.

However, he was highly impressive for the Reading youth teams, playing a combined 48 games for the U23s and U18, scoring 29 and assisting 7.

He will be the latest Englishman to arrive in Portugal, with the likes of youngsters Marcus Edwards, Easah Suliman and Jacob Maddox already venturing to Guimaraes and Portugal.

He will be the first Englishman to represent Porto.
