Burnley swoop for Ghanaian teenager Enock Agyei

English Championship side Burnley secured the services of Ghanaian teenager Enock Agyei ahead of the closure of the January transfer window.

The 18-year-old signed a four-and-a-half year deal with the Clarets from Anderlecht but will head back to Belgium to join KV Mechelen on loan for the rest of the season.

The young winger admitted he was swayed by Burnley boss Vincent Kompany to join the club.

He said on Ghanasoccernet: "It is a new change for me. It is something that will help my development and my career.

"I spoke with Vincent and he persuaded me to come here and I think it is going to be a great chapter in my career."

Mechelen boss Steven Defour added: "Enock has a lot of maturity in his game, despite his age. He never loses overview in his action.

"He's a very creative player with a lot of speed and we are looking forward to working with him."
