Tottenham fans say ‘we move in silence’ as they pull off shock transfer for Burnley wonderkid Wilson Odobert
Transfer went from rumour to confirmed in a matter of minutes
TOTTENHAM have confirmed the signing of Burnley’s Wilson Odobert.
The 19-year-old winger has agreed a deal that will last until 2029 and he will wear the number 28 shirt for the Lilywhites.
Odobert made 29 appearances for Burnley in the Premier League last season.
During his time in the Prem, Odobert scored three goals and laid on two assists for the Clarets.
The Frenchman is comfortable playing off either wing and started Burnley’s Championship opener against Luton as a number 10.
He is Tottenham’s fifth summer signing during a window that has focused on bringing in youth.
Odobert, 19, joins three 18-year old signings in the form of Lucas Bergvall, Archie Gray and Yang-Min Hyeok.
The club also broke their transfer record last week in a deal for Dominic Solanke which could rise to £65million.
Odobert’s deal appeared to come out of the blue, with no rumours initially being reported of Spurs’ interest.
That’s said to be sporting director Johan Lange’s preferred style, who prefers to complete transfers without anything leaking out of the club.
