Keyon Ewurum has completed a loan move from Valletta to Torino U20, joining the Italian club’s Primavera 1 setup on a temporary deal. The contract begins on 2026-02-02 and runs until 2026-06-30, at which point he is scheduled to return to Valletta at the end of the loan.
The 18-year-old attacking midfielder leaves Valletta’s first team for Torino’s youth structure in a move registered as a loan transfer, with no permanent fee attached in the data provided. Ewurum arrives in Italy with a listed market value of €50k, reflecting his growing status after stepping up from Valletta FC U19 to the senior Valletta side before this switch.
Ewurum is now set to play abroad in Primavera 1, Italy’s top youth competition, rather than continuing his development solely in Maltese football. The deal sees him move from the Maltese Premier League Closing Round to a youth league regarded as a key pathway into Serie A first teams, underlining Torino’s decision to test him in a more demanding environment during this loan period.
Born on 20 Apr 2007 and standing at 1.82 m, Ewurum is an attacking midfielder who can operate in the central advanced role and is listed as being comfortable with both feet. He holds dual nationality with Malta and Nigeria, a combination that potentially opens doors at both international and club level as he progresses. Prior to joining Valletta’s senior squad, he featured for Valletta FC U19, making the internal step up to the first team before securing this first move abroad to Torino’s Primavera side.
The transfer history confirms a clear pathway: from Valletta FC U19 to Valletta’s senior team, and now from Valletta to Torino U20 on loan, with a pre-defined return to Valletta when the loan expires. With the agreement formally registered as a loan transfer and an end-of-loan return already in place, there is currently no indication in the data that Ewurum will become a free agent at the conclusion of this spell; instead, he is due back at Valletta when his time in Italy ends.
Ewurum’s move comes at a point where his market value has been assessed at €50k during his time with Valletta, following his promotion from the youth ranks. Having been most recently attached to the Maltese Premier League Closing Round with Valletta before this loan, he now enters a different tactical and physical context in Primavera 1, facing youth sides from some of Italy’s biggest clubs.
For Valletta, the loan presents an opportunity for one of their young assets to gain experience in a higher-profile youth competition without losing him permanently. For Torino Primavera, it is a low-risk chance to integrate a technically skilled, dual-nationality attacking midfielder into their system and monitor his adaptation over the course of the loan term.
Should Ewurum impress in Italy, the stint with Torino U20 could significantly elevate his profile, whether by returning to Valletta as a more polished player or by positioning himself for future opportunities in stronger leagues. The outcome of this confirmed loan spell is likely to shape the next phase of his career and determine how quickly he can translate youth potential into senior-level impact.
