Tottenham officially announce bombshell signing of Burnley star as Postecoglou eyes title-winner.
Tottenham have officially
the signing of talented Burnley star Wilson Odobert after the 19-year-old completed a medical with the North Londoners on Thursday.
He is set to become Spurs’ fifth signing of the season after Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall, Dominic Solanke and Min-hyeok Yang in what could prove to be excellent business.
The transfer comes as a major shock Tottenham’s interest in the player was only reported 30 minutes before the announcement, by journalist Sacho Tavolieri.
“We are delighted to announce that we have reached agreement for the permanent transfer of Wilson Odobert from Burnley, subject to formalities,” Tottenham posted on their official X page.
Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Tottenham will pay £25m plus £5m in add-ons for Odobert and Burnley will also receive 10% of any future sale. He will wear the no. 29 shirt for Spurs.
Odobert can play as an attacking midfielder or winger and put in some impressive performances in the Premier League last season, despite Burnley suffering relegation.
The teenager scored in the Lancashire side’s Championship opener against Luton Town on Monday night but is now set to complete the surprise move to Tottenham.
Tottenham join
for Piero Hincapie
Odobert will compete with the likes of Heung-min Son, Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison this season and has the potential to develop into a top quality player.
Tottenham’s business won’t stop there, however, as Postecoglou is reportedly keen to bring in a new centre-back.
Ecuadorian outlet El Comercio claim that Tottenham are set to join the race for Bayer Leverkusen defender Piero Hincapie.
The 22-year-old played a key role in Leverkusen’s title-winning 2023/24 campaign. He made 43 appearances for the German champions last term, helping his side to 20 clean sheets in the process.
Bayern Munich and Liverpool have also shown an interest in Hincapie, but they will ‘have to fight’ to beat Spurs to his signature.
Hincapie’s deal with Leverkusen is valid until 2027. The report states Xabi Alonso has held talks with the player and ‘asked him to stay.
