Italian Lega Promo (Serie C) side Paganese Calcio 1926 have signed sensational Ghanaian teenager Carlos Opoku Buxton from from Hellas Verona on loan.

The 18-year-old centre-forward who featured for the Primavera side of the newly-promoted Serie A club joined the Azzurrostellati on Monday night as he seeks first team action.

Opoku netted fourteen goals and provided seven assists in 29 games for the junior team of the Gialloblu  as they finished among the top ranks last season.

He is expected to lead the attack of manager Salvatore Matrecano in his quest for Serie B promotion.

The budding youngster who was born to Ghanaian parents at Verona has already been compared to Hellas Verona legend Luca Toni due to his playing style and goal scoring prowess.
