Port Vale have secured their 13th summer signing from PL

Port Vale have secured their 13th summer signing by bringing in England Under-20 striker Benicio Baker-Boaitey on loan from Premier League club Brighton.

The 20-year-old has previously been with West Ham and FC Porto before joining Brighton in 2022.

He made his Seagulls debut in a Premier League match against Chelsea and has since made five more first-team appearances, all as a substitute.

“Benicio has great skills and a competitive spirit that will immediately boost our attacking options,” said Vale boss Darren Moore.

“Besides his talent on the field, he has the right attitude and work ethic we look for at Port Vale. He’s eager to learn and push himself to be the best he can be.”

Relegated in April, Vale will begin their new League Two season on Saturday with a trip to Salford.
