QPR Official Site - EXCLUSIVE: DI CARMINE JETS IN
Queens Park Rangers Football Club is delighted to announce the loan signing of Italian hot-shot Samuel Di Carmine.
The 19 year-old Fiorentina front-man has put pen to paper on a season-long loan deal with the R's, to the delight of First Team Coach Iain Dowie.
"Samuel is a young striker with potential," Dowie told www.qpr.co.uk.
"I went out to see him play in Italy and I thought he did very well. He leads the line well and uses his body very well for someone so young.
"A season long loan provides us with a good opportunity to have a closer look at him.
"Technically, he looks fine; he might take a little bit of time to adjust to the physical rigours of Championship football, but I'm sure he's capable of that.
"What we want is a good under-belly of young players at the Club. When you're building for the future that's vitally important."
Highly-rated in his homeland, the Florence-born striker made his Serie A debut in October 2006, before going on to notch his first goal for the Club in their 6-1 thrashing of IF Elfsborg in a UEFA Cup tie in November.
Di Carmine's capture arrives hot on the heels of the loan signing of Genoa's Emmanuel Jorge Ledesma, who penned an identical deal with the R's on Friday afternoon. QPR
