Burnley have made Italian teenager Luca Koleosho their sixth new signing of the summer as Vincent Kompany continues his planning for life back in the Premier League.
Koleosho, an Italy Under-19 forward, has joined from Espanyol for an undisclosed fee, reportedly in the region of £2.5million.
“It feels amazing to be here,” Koleosho said. “As soon as I got the call from the coach, I knew I wanted to come here.
“We spoke about the way they would help me improve and get better as a player and I was just excited by it, I can’t wait to get started now.”
Last season the 18-year-old made four substitute appearances in LaLiga, scoring once as Espanyol suffered relegation to the Spanish second tier.
Koleosho was born in the United States to a Nigerian father and Italian-Canadian mother, moving to Spain as a youngster and joining Espanyol’s academy in 2016.
