Lauri Dalla Valle (born 14 September 1991) is a Finnish professional footballer who plays as a striker.
After playing youth football for JIPPO and Inter Milan, Dalle Valle moved to England in 2008 to join Liverpool. After two seasons he joined Fulham, and while there spent spells with Bournemouth, Dundee United, Exeter City and Crewe Alexandra, leaving the club in 2013. After spells in Norway (with Molde) and Belgium (with Sint-Truiden), he returned to England in 2014 to rejoin Crewe Alexandra.
Dalla Valle is also a former youth international, representing Finland at every level up to and including under-21.
Dalla Valle was born in Kontiolahti, near the city of Joensuu, Finland on 14 September 1991, one of three children to Loreno, an Italian former police officer and mushroom company boss, and Marketta, who is Finnish.
He began his career in Finland with JIPPO, and his talent saw him join Internazionale's youth team in 2005. However, Dalla Valle, struggling with the language, soon became homesick and returned to Finland after a few months. He started the 2007 season with JIPPO in the Finnish First Division, but was seriously injured in the fourth round of the Finnish Cup in May 2007, and was out for several months. He scored his only senior goal of the 2007 season in that match before being injured. In the end he only played in 8 matches in Finnish Division I (Miesten Ykkönen) in the 2007 season. He was a transfer target for Chelsea in October 2007.
