Barnsley winger Toni Silva has joined League Two side Dagenham and Redbridge until April 23.
The 19-year-old signed for the Reds from Liverpool last summer on a two-year-deal and said he wanted to replicate last season's star Ricardo Vaz Te who was also born in Guinea-Bissau but grew up in Portugal.
Then manager Keith Hill said he would treat Silva like his own son and make him into a £3million player. But the attacker has made just one appearance for Barnsley, as a substitute in the 1-0 loss at Hull City in November.
Daggers manager Wayne Burnett told their website: "The player was signed from Liverpool with a lot of promise. Unfortunately he has slightly lost his way but hopefully we can get him back to his best."
Meanwhile, young attacker Jordan Clark has returned from Chesterfield after playing twice on loan and appeared for the under 21s this week.
