The Colombian youngster only finalised a switch to the English outfit from Atletico Nacional in his homeland on Saturday, but a subsequent temporary move to Deportivo was broadly anticipated for the forward.

Considered one of the finest talents South America has to offer, Moreno, 19, recently collected the Copa Libertadores with his former employer, and has begun to make great strides with La Cafeteros on the international stage.

Capable of cropping up in various attacking roles and generating a phenomenal amount of velocity in the ball through his laces, Moreno will now be charged with trying to usurp the likes of newcomer Florin Andone, Oriol Riera, and Lucas Perez from the lineup.
