Roberto Mancini's son Andreas has joined Oldham on an initial one-month loan.

The 19-year-old plays as a striker for his father's side but has yet to make his senior debut. Andreas is joined in his switch to the League One side by fellow forward Luca Scapuzzi, 20, who is on a two-month emergency loan.

"We have got a couple of strikers out with injury and I am really grateful to Roberto Mancini for allowing these deals to go through," said Oldham boss Paul Dickov (pictured right).

"I have seen both Luca and Andrea play this season and they are both decent players. They train here for the first time today and then we will see where we go from there.

"We have four games in the next two weeks so they will definitely see some action."

Oldham currently sit 14th in League One, with 22 points from 16 games.
