Bafana Bafana international Lyle Foster lands dream Burnley move

Bafana Bafana striker Lyle Foster has secured a move to English Championship leaders Burnley.

Foster signs a deal at Turf Moor until the summer of 2027 and joins from Belgian outfit Westerlo for an undisclosed fee.

He follows Ameen Al-Dakhil and Hjalmar Ekdal in joining Vincent Kompany's side this month.

South Africa international Foster, 22, started his career at Orlando Pirates before enjoying spells with Monaco, Cercle Brugge, Vitoria de Guimaraes and Westerlo across Europe.

Foster will now add England to his list of destinations and aim to provide competition up front for the runaway leaders.

"I'm very happy to be here," Foster said on Burnley's official website. "I'm blessed and thankful for the opportunity, and I just can't wait to get started.

"From the moment I heard that there was interest from Burnley, my heart and my head were set on the club. I'm so happy to be here now. It's a dream for me."
