Cheltenham Town are set to sign Luciano D'Auria-Henry on loan from Fulham ahead of this weekend's trip to Portsmouth.

The 20-year-old attacking right wing-back has progressed through the ranks at his Premier League parent club since Under-11 level.

He was named on the bench for their EFL Cup tie against Crawley Town last season, but he is yet to make his first team debut for the Cottagers and this will be his first loan experience.

D'Auria-Henry, who is eligible to represent England, Italy and Dominican internationally, will go straight into Wade Elliott's squad to face Pompey away in League One on Saturday.

And Gloucestershire Live understands Cheltenham are also close to completing the signing of a loan defender from another top flight club.

Cheltenham have lost all four of their matches in league and cup this season without scoring.

Attacking midfielder Oli Hammond from Nottingham Forest was their first loan addition this summer, along with permanent additions Curtis Davies, Rob Street, Jamie Pardington, Luke Southwood, Liam Smith and Curtis Thompson.
