🚨 LEYTON ORIENT AGREE DEAL FOR TEENAGE WINGER

Leyton Orient have reached an agreement to sign highly-rated 19-year-old Portuguese winger Tiago Fernandes from Liga Portugal 2 side Académico Viseu.

The exciting wide player is expected to join the O’s on a four-year deal after impressing scouts with his pace, dribbling ability, and eye for goal. Sources close to the club suggest manager Richie Wellens sees Fernandes as a player capable of becoming one of League One’s most exciting young talents.

Fernandes registered 8 goals and 11 assists across all competitions last season and has been compared to several modern attacking wingers due to his direct running style and confidence in one-on-one situations.

The transfer fee is believed to be around £450,000, which would make him one of the club’s most significant investments in a young player. Personal terms have reportedly been agreed, with only the final paperwork remaining before the move is officially announced.

Supporters are already excited about the prospect of seeing the Portuguese teenager light up Brisbane Road, with many viewing the signing as a statement of intent from Leyton Orient ahead of the new campaign.
