Burnley have completed the signing of Tottenham winger Georges-Kevin N Koudou on loan until the end of the season.
The 22-year-old has only played once in the Premier League for Spurs in 2017-18, although he scored in his last appearance for the club against APOEL in the Champions League in December.
The Frenchman has now chosen to spend the rest of the campaign at Turf Moor, having spoken with Spurs team-mate Kieran Trippier – who spent three years in Lancashire – before deciding on the move.
When I spoke with Trippier he told me good things about this club, about the players and everything about Burnley. I am happy to be here, so thank you Trippier, N Koudou told Clarets Player.
Everyone is shocked because Burnley is just after the big six [in…
Hull City manager Steve Bruce has blasted DJ Campbell s actions after the striker walked out during transfer talks with his side on Thursday.
The 31-year-old was in the middle of transfer negotiations with Hull but allegedly walked out to begin talks with Blackburn Rovers after claiming he was going to get lunch.

The way they handled the situation, saying they were going for lunch and then going to Blackburn, was shocking, Bruce told BBC Radio Humberside.
I ve never felt so disappointed. We were left trying to find out where they were for the best part of two hours.

Paris Saint-Germain coach Carlo Ancelotti said it would be hard to turn down Real Madrid if the Spanish champions approached him.
Madrid have been linked with a number of coaches in recent weeks amid ongoing speculation that current trainer Jose Mourinho could leave the club at the end of the season, and Ancelotti said the chance to take the Portuguese coach s place come June would be hard to turn down.
I don t think there is a single coach in the world who could say no to a club like Real Madrid, the former AC Milan coach told TVE.
It would be very difficult to turn something like that down. All I can say for now, though is that I am happy at PSG at the moment.
Ancelotti took charge of Paris Saint-Germain in December 2011, and has guided them to the knockout stages of the C…

Gamba Osaka are ready to debunk the myth of goal-shy Japanese football after a 3-0 defeat of Adelaide United at home put them on the verge of winning their first Asian club championship.
I wish we emerge the winners by having them say, Oh, Japanese football is skillful, said Gamba midfielder Yasuhito Endo, who scored a goal and set up another in the AFC Champions League final first leg here on Wednesday.
It was tight defence which helped fellow J-League side Urawa Red Diamonds to last year s title, he recalled, adding that Gamba had vowed to pass the ball around and play a fun kind of football from the beginning of this year .
The 3-0 result is satisfactory but we never know what will happen in football, added Endo, who shares place kicks with Celtic star Shu…
Verdict: AS Roma
Best Odds:
Bookmaker:
Serie A side AS Roma play host to Shakhtar Donetsk in the second leg of the Champions League Round of 16 looking to climb back from a 2-1 deficit last time out. The Italians will have an away goal acting as a platform to build upon but the Ukrainian giants are by no means to be underestimated.
AS Roma
A somewhat bizarre second half in the first leg at OSC Metalist stadium in Kharkiv left AS Roma disappointed as the 2-1 defeat did not paint a real picture of the proceedings. Giallorossi opened the account through the in-form Cengiz Under but failed to keep hold of the lead and ended up going goal behind in the second half after Ferreyra and Fred put the hosts 2-1 up.
In a game of two halves in Ukraine, AS R…
