Tottenham confirm capture of Burnley forward Wilson Odobert

The 19-year-old forward has agreed a contract until 2029 and will wear the number 28 shirt at Spurs.

Ange Postecoglou's team moved for Odobert after an encouraging debut campaign in England. Odobert made 32 appearances and scored four goals for Burnley after a move from Troyes, but was unable to keep them in the Premier League.

The French winger will now swap the Clarets' promotion bid in the Sky Bet Championship for life back in the top flight at Tottenham, who will also compete in the Europa League this season.

"We are delighted to announce that we have reached agreement for the permanent transfer of Wilson Odobert from Burnley, subject to formalities," read a statement on Spurs' website.

The 19-year-old has agreed a deal that will run until 2029 and will wear shirt number 28."

Wilson began his career in the Academy of Paris Saint-Germain before moving to Troyes in July, 2022, where he scored four goals in 32 appearances.

That earned the winger a move to the top flight in England with Burnley, and he became the Clarets' youngest ever Premier League goalscorer in October, 2023, with a goal against Chelsea. During his time at Turf Moor, he made 34 appearances in all competitions, scoring five goals.

On the international stage, Wilson has featured for France across numerous age groups and is a current France Under-21 international.
