Burnley have completed the signing of Belgian youngster Enock Agyei in the final hour of deadline day.

The 18-year-old arrives from Anderlecht and has put pen to paper over a four-and-a-half-year deal at Turf Moor.

He will be loaned out to KV Mechelen, who are managed by former Burnley midfielder Steven Defour, for the remainder of the season.

Agyei joined Anderlecht’s youth ranks back in 2015 and has featured regularly for their Under-21 side.

He has also represented Belgium at Under-21 level and becomes the Clarets’ fifth signing of the January transfer window after Ameen Al-Dakhil, Hjalmar Ekdal, Lyle Foster and Michael Obafemi.

The youngster told the club’s website: "It is a new change for me. It is something that will help my development and my career.

"I spoke with Vincent and he persuaded me to come here and I think it is going to be a great chapter in my career.”

Mechelen are currently 13th in the Belgian Pro League – five points clear of the drop zone with a game in hand over most of the sides around them.

Defour added: “Enock has a lot of maturity in his game, despite his age. He never loses overview in his action.

“He’s a very creative player with a lot of speed and we are looking forward to working with him.”
