Burnley transfer news: Wilson Odobert moves to Turf Moor for undisclosed fee

Burnley have signed France Under-20 forward Wilson Odobert for an undisclosed fee on a five-year contract.

The 18-year-old joins from French side Troyes, who were relegated from Ligue 1 last season.

Odobert came through Paris St-Germain's academy but rejected a professional contract with the club in order to play first-team football with Troyes.

"I really liked it. The manager, the team, the town. I really love it and it's a really good project for me.

"I want to play as much as possible at Burnley, do as well as I can with the team, stay in the team and play the best I possibly can for the club.
