‘’Agreed Deal and Finalized’’ Fabrizio Romano confirms exciting morning transfer news coming out of Tottenham with more details
Tottenham Hotspur have completed another noteworthy transfer as they gear up for the 2024/25 Premier League season. Renowned football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has officially confirmed that Burnley’s highly promising young winger, Wilson Odobert, has signed with Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham side. This addition marks a significant step in Spurs’ ongoing efforts to strengthen their squad for the upcoming campaign.
The 19-year-old French talent, Odobert, has committed to a long-term deal with Tottenham, which will see him remain at the club until 2029. This substantial contract underlines the club’s confidence in Odobert’s potential and their long-term vision for his development. The news was delivered this morning by Romano via an update on X (formerly known as Twitter), as reported by CaughtOffside, highlighting the club’s proactive approach in securing young talent.
Odobert’s transfer is part of a series of strategic acquisitions for Tottenham during this transfer window. Alongside Odobert, Spurs have also bolstered their squad with Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth and Archie Gray from Leeds United. These signings are indicative of Tottenham’s intent to enhance their team’s depth and competitive edge as they prepare for a challenging Premier League season.
Wilson Odobert arrives at Tottenham with high expectations, partly due to the glowing praise he has received from his former manager, Vincent Kompany. Kompany, now managing Bayern Munich, had high praise for Odobert’s abilities, stating, “I will almost refrain from what I really think about him because, at this moment, I don’t think people realize how good he is.” Kompany, who managed Odobert at Burnley, acknowledged that while Odobert was playing in a team fighting relegation, his skills in both defensive and attacking roles were exceptional. He expressed a desire to temper expectations, emphasizing that he did not want to create undue pressure on the young player too early in his career.
During the previous season, Odobert was a key figure for Burnley in their Premier League campaign, which was fraught with challenges. He made a notable impact with six goal contributions in 29 appearances, demonstrating his versatility and capability across the forward line. His performance was particularly strong in the latter half of the season, where he became a crucial player for Burnley. Furthermore, Odobert started the Championship season with a promising display, scoring in Burnley’s season opener against Luton Town, showcasing his continued potential and form.
As Wilson Odobert joins Tottenham Hotspur, fans and analysts alike will be eager to see how this talented young winger adapts to the Premier League and contributes to the club’s ambitions. With his long-term contract and the backing of a club that is clearly investing in his future, Odobert’s arrival is expected to bring fresh energy and creativity to Spurs’ attacking options.
