Dundee United can now confirm that a nominal fee has today been agreed in principle with Cowdenbeath regarding the transfer of 21 year old French midfielder Morgaro Gomis. Subject to formalities being completed, he will sign a two and a half year contract with the Club in January.
Morgaro signed for Cowdenbeath in August 2006 after impressing as a pre season trialist. He began his career with Montpellier in his native France before leaving to join the youth set up at Chelsea. He subsequently played non league football before moving to Barnet.
Manager Craig Levein said, " Morgaro is still a young lad with potential, hence the nominal fee. While he will be a first team squad player, I don't expect him to be a regular first team player in the short term. He's seen as one for the future and shouldn't be viewed as someone who will immediately add strength to the midfield."
