With a note on their official website, Serie B side Brescia have announced the signing of Nnamdi Oduamadi on a season - long loan deal from Italy powerhouse AC Milan.

Like most loan deals these days, inserted into the contract is the option to acquire the Nigeria international outright at the end of the 2013 - 2014 season.

It means for the third straight season Nnamdi Oduamadi will play on loan at a lower division club, having previously defended the colors of Torino and Varese.

The 22 - year - old attacker will get to know his new teammates when he starts training this evening in Temu, Lombardy.

Brescia narrowly missed promotion to the Serie A at the end of last season after they lost to Livorno in the Serie B play-off semi-final.
