Premier League side Burnley FC is delighted to announce the completion of signing France Under-20 forward Wilson Odobert from French side Troyes for an undisclosed fee.

French youth international attacker Wilson Odobert agreed with the terms and has signed a five-year contract with Burnley.

Odobert travelled to England earlier this week after being given permission to do so by Ligue 2 side ESTAC Troyes’ owners City Football Group. 

Burnley will pay Troyes a €12m fee excluding bonuses to tie down the teenager. 

After becoming a Claret, Odobert said: “The project here excited me, 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.”

Odobert came through the ranks at Paris Saint-Germain but turned down a professional deal last year to play first-team football at Troyes.

The winger scored four goals in 32 appearances last season, making a positive impression in the French top flight.

Burnley are back in action on Sunday, August 27 when they host Aston Villa. The Clarets were due to head to Luton on Saturday, August 19 but that fixture was postponed due to the work going in at Kenilworth Road.
