Tottenham announce shock signing of highly rated Championship star | OneFootball

Tottenham have announced the signing of Burnley attacker Wilson Odobert on a five-year deal.

The French teenager played and scored in the Clarets' opening Championship fixture of the season, a 4-1 win against Luton Town, but will now relocate to north London.

Le Parisien claim the deal is worth as much as €37m, coming not long after Tottenham splashed out their record fee to bring in striker Dominic Solanke.

Spurs have confirmed the 19-year-old, who joins the likes of Lucas Bergvall, Archie Gray and Solanke as summer signings during the transfer window, will wear the 28 shirt.

After coming through Paris Saint-Germain's academy, Odobert joined Troyes in 2022 and scored four goals in 32 Ligue 1 appearances before joining Vincent Kompany's Burnley a year later. He became the club's youngest ever Premier League goalscorer when he struck in a 4-1 defeat to Chelsea in October and finished the campaign with four efforts in all competitions.

Odobert put Burnley 2-0 up against Luton on Monday night, racing onto Connor Roberts' pass and sliding his shot beyond Thomas Kaminski at Kenilworth Road.

He has also played for a number of France's youth sides and was part of Thierry Henry's preliminary Olympic squad before being cut from the final roster, having scored in a 3-2 friendly victory over the Ivory Coast. Les Blues claimed a silver medal in Paris after a 5-3 extra-time defeat to Spain in the final.

Tottenham have been on the lookout for a new winger this summer and had been linked with the likes of Pedro Neto, Eberechi Eze and Desire Doue among others.

The club have confirmed the deal is still 'subject to formalities' so Odobert may not be available when the Lilywhites get their Premier League campaign up and running on Monday night away at Leicester City.
