Crewe Alexandra sign Fulham youngster Lauri Dalla Valle on loan<br /><br />Crewe Alexandra have signed Fulham's young Finnish striker Lauri Dalla Valle on a month's loan following a successful trial at Gresty Road.<br />Dalla Valle, 21, was sold to Fulham in the summer of 2010 by Roy Hodgson in the part-exchange deal that took Paul Konchesky to Liverpool.<br />"We have him here for a month initially and take it from there," said Crewe boss Steve Davis.<br />"He is quick and mobile and can play on the shoulder, a bit like Max Clayton."<br />Dalla Valle, who has had loan spells with Exeter City, Dundee United and Bournemouth, goes straight into the Crewe squad for Tuesday's game at Doncaster Rovers.<br />"It's a no-brainer really," Davis told BBC Radio Stoke. "He's a lad that's got something and has experience of this league.<br />"Fulham kindly gave us an opportunity to have a look at Lauri with it being FA Cup week for us.<br />"They said he could play for us in an Under-21 game if we wanted to, but we have seen something in him in training, which makes us thing he will make a difference to us."
