Burnley have reached an agreement to sign Troyes attacker Wilson Odobert, according to reports from France.
Website Foot Mercato writes that the Ligue 2 side have just accepted the Clarets’ offer for the player.
It’s claimed that Burnley offered €11m for the transfer, and that was enough for Troyes to let him go.
The French club had signed the player from Paris Saint Germain on a free move a year ago. So even though they’re making a
big profit with his sale, they still had him tied in a contract until 2027.
Odobert is just 18, but already has some decent experience in professional football. Troyes had been playing in the first
division last season, and he had 32 appearances, with four goals and two assists. That was his first season in action among
the big boys, as PSG didn’t give him the chance of a debut.
The youngster has been playing as an attacking midfielder and on both wings, so that’s certainly a versatile option that
Vincent Kompany will be glad to have in the squad next season.
Troyes’ relegation to Ligue 2 definitely helped Burnley get a cheaper deal.

BURNLEY’S WILSON ODOBERT OFFER ACCEPTED BY TROYES
Foot Mercato are reporting that Burnley have had an offer for Wilson Odobert (20) accepted by ESTAC Troyes. The value
of the offer is thought to be around €11m.
Despite Troyes’ struggles in Ligue 1 last season, Odobert had an impressive campaign, scoring seven goals and registering
two assists in all competitions. Troyes were relegated at the end of the 2022/23 campaign, but Odobert won’t be joining
them in France’s second division, according to Foot Mercato.
Despite having four years remaining on his contract with the Aubois club, Odobert looks set to join newly-promoted
Burnley. The Lancashire club’s offer has been accepted by Troyes, who form part of the City group. Odobert’s arrival would
be in fitting with the Premier League side’s strategy, outlined by Goal this morning. The publication reported that Burnley
were in the market for promising French talent, and have also submitted an offer for Sacha Boey (22). The French right-back
currently plays for Galatasaray in Turkey.
