Transfer round-up: Spurs sign Wilson Odobert
Tottenham have completed the signing of Wilson Odobert from Burnley for a fee in the region of £25m.
The 19-year-old forward has agreed a contract until 2029 and will wear the number 28 shirt at Spurs.
Ange Postecoglou's team moved for Odobert after an encouraging debut campaign in England.
Odobert made 32 appearances and scored four goals for Burnley after a move from Troyes, but was unable to keep them in the Premier League.
The French winger will now swap the Clarets’ promotion bid in the Sky Bet Championship for life back in the top flight at Tottenham, who will also compete in the Europa League this season.
Newly-promoted Ipswich have bolstered their attack ahead of the season opener at home to Liverpool with the signing of Blackburn striker Sam Szmodics, who has has joined for a reported initial £9m fee on a four-year contract.
"There’s always been interest since I was a kid, but it just felt right this time with the challenge of the Premier League," the Republic of Ireland international, who scored 33 goals last season, told TownTV.
"It’s every boy’s dream to play in the Premier League and I’ve always said to my friends, family and agents that I’ll get to the top one day.
"There’s nothing more I want than to score at Portman Road for Ipswich Town. I am over the moon to be here and looking forward to the season ahead."
Szmodics said he spoke to Blackburn team-mate Lewis Travis, who spent last season on loan at Portman Road, and was given a glowing recommendation of new boss Kieran McKenna.
"His arrival gives us another really versatile forward player who can operate in different roles and systems, giving us a big goal threat and plenty of other qualities to add to the team," said McKenna.
