Cherries boss Lee Bradbury is confident loan signing Lauri Dalla Valle will provide him with valuable extra firepower.[LNB] In the past few minutes, the Fulham star put pen to paper on an initial one-month deal at Dean Court, subject to Football League approval.[LNB] The 19-year-old, who trained with his new team-mates at Canford School this morning, goes straight into the squad for tomorrow's League One home clash against Oldham Athletic (3pm).[LNB] Bradbury revealed his new recruit had come highly recommended and that he possessed the attributes he had been hunting during his painstaking player search.[LNB] He said: "He is quick, wants to run in behind and can stretch out the line for us.[LNB] "He likes playing off a big man, has a very good work-rate and he is a good little finisher, so he can only be good for us. It is more firepower for me as well as more options.[LNB] "He is a similar sort of build to Danny Ings, maybe with a bit of a thicker set. He is the type of player we had been looking for.[LNB] "With the recommendations that have come from good people with good backgrounds, he should be a good asset for us."[LNB] Bradbury had previously seen a loan bid to sign Middlesbrough frontman Jonathan Franks collapse when he suffered an injury in training with his parent club.[LNB] The Cherries manager also missed out on West Bromwich Albion striker Simon Cox.[LNB] FOR FULL REACTION AND MORE CHERRIES NEWS, SEE TOMORROW'S ECHO.[LNB]
