Published on: 01 February 2023

Burnley Football Club has officially announced the signing of talented young attacker Enock Agyei from Anderlecht on a four-and-a-half-year deal.

The 18-year-old will immediately begin a season-long loan with Steven Defour managed K.V. Mechelen in Belgium.

The attacker, who transferred from RSC Verviers to the Anderlecht academy in 2015, has advanced through the 'Purple and White' development system while frequently playing for the U21 team.

Agyei, who is already a member of the Belgium U21 squad, will now get first-team experience in the Belgian Pro League under Defour's direction before joining the Clarets again in the summer.

After signing his contract on January transfer deadline day, Agyei said: "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,"
