Tottenham have announced that they have reached an agreement with Burnley for winger Wilson Odobert.

In the statement on their website, Spurs revealed the player has signed a five-year deal and will wear the number 28 shirt.

The transfer fee was confirmed to be £25m plus £5m in add-ons for the Frenchman.


Odobert featured for Burnley in the 2023-24 season, making 33 appearances and scoring four goals, three of which were in the Premier League.

Despite playing in Burnley's opening Championship game against Luton Town - where Odobert scored a goal - Odobert's signing emerges as Tottenham continue their busy transfer window.

Wilson Odobert - a PSG academy product between 2017 and 2022 - has yet to feature for France's senior team but has played for the Under 20s, Under 21s and Under 23s.

However, the 2004-born player wasn't selected for Thierry Henry's France squad for the 2024 Paris Olympics.

He began his senior career with Troyes, where he made 32 appearances and scored four goals. However, his team finished in 19th place and were relegated to Ligue 2.

Burnley's former manager, Vincent Kompany, was particularly pleased with the winger's displays last season, stating: 'I will almost refrain from what I really think about him because, at this moment in time, I don't think people realise how good he is.'

Meanwhile, Tottenham have been searching for a young winger, given the previous reports that they would consider suitable offers for Manor Solomon.

Two other Spurs wingers, Ryan Sessegnon and Bryan Gil, have left the club, with the first one joining Fulham as a free agent, while the Spaniard completed his season-loan switch to LaLiga's Girona.

After signing Odobert, Tottenham said: 'We are delighted to announce that we have reached agreement for the permanent transfer of Wilson Odobert from Burnley, subject to formalities.'

The Frenchman was highly valued by Burnley's former manager Vincent Kompany, who said that fans might not realise 'how good he is'

The development comes after it was announced that Dominic Solanke joined Tottenham in a club-record £65m deal for Bournemouth.

The Englishman was highly-valued on Ange Postecoglou's transfer wish list after his strong performances at Bournemouth, helping them to a 12th-placed finish last season

Odobert becomes Tottenham's fifth signing of the season after Solanke, Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall and Min-hyeok Yang.
