Burnley sign France Under-20 forward Wilson Odobert on a five-year deal

Burnley have signed France Under-20 forward Wilson Odobert from Troyes for an undisclosed fee.

The 19-year-old has signed a five-year contract at Turf Moor and becomes the club's second summer signing following the arrival of Scott Twine from MK Dons.

Odobert is a highly-rated young forward who has been capped by France at Under-19 and Under-20 level.

He scored four goals in 33 appearances for Troyes in Ligue 1 last season and helped them avoid relegation.

Odobert is a versatile forward who can play anywhere across the front line.

He is a good dribbler and passer, and he has an eye for goal.

Burnley manager Vincent Kompany is delighted to have signed Odobert.

"Wilson is a young player with great potential," Kompany said.

"He is a versatile forward who can play anywhere across the front line.

He is a good dribbler and passer, and he has an eye for goal.

I am sure he will be a valuable addition to our squad."

Odobert is looking forward to playing for Burnley.

"I am very happy to join Burnley," Odobert said.

"This is a great club with a lot of history and tradition.

I am looking forward to working with the manager and the players, and I hope I can help the club achieve success."
