Bari have completed the loan signing of Hungarian midfielder Andras Gosztonyi from MTK.

The 19-year-old right-sided player moves to the Serie A side on a deal until the end of the season, which could be extended to 2013.

Gosztonyi has been linked with a move to Premier League side Everton in the past, but the player's agent Tibor Pataky says the Galletti showed more interest.

"Everton didn't want to sign Andras before this summer so Bari's interest came into the spotlight on the last day of the transfer market," he told Pepsifoci.

"The English possibility wasn't finished until yesterday evening but the Italians' interest became much stronger.

"Bari scouts have been eyeing him for about one year. In Bari they rate Andras who they hope will be helped by (team-mate) Koman Vladimir's great recent displays in Serie A.

"The Italians believe the Hungarian duo will create a great partnership just like they did in the Hungarian national team."

Bari's next game is a trip to relegation-threatened Atalanta in Serie A on Sunday.
