Aussie Wes Becomes An Arab

as seen on au.fourfourtwo.com

Luckless Aussie midfielder James Wesolowski has signed with Dundee United on loan for the rest of the season from Leicester City.

Wesolowski, who has had a horrendous run of injuries with the Foxes, links up with former Leicester City boss Craig Levein at the Scottish Premier League club on a loan deal which is subject to international clearance.

The 21-year-old midfielder, who was involved with the Socceroos in a 2007 friendly against Nigeria under Rob Baan, has only just returned to fitness after an ankle injury sustained whilst on loan with Cheltenham in October.

During his loan stint with Cheltenham, Wesolowski had impressed the Robins who were expected to sign him on loan in the transfer window but the opportunity to play in Scotland's top flight was too good for the young Aussie to refuse.

Wesolowski joins a Dundee United side who currently sit third in the Scottish Premier League and are chasing a rare European berth.

The Australian may get a chance to impress immediately too, when Dundee United face Hamilton Academicals in the Scottish Cup this Saturday.
