Exclusive: Paris FC Seal Permanent Deal for Burnley's Luca Koleosho

Paris FC and Burnley have agreed to a permanent deal for winger Luca Koleosho, who will leave Espanyol after just five appearances this season. This signing strengthens Paris FC's offense as the freshly promoted Ligue 1 club looks to add depth during the January transfer window.

Transfer Details

Burnley, Koleosho's parent club, agreed to a permanent agreement with Paris FC, ending his disappointing loan spell with Espanyol, where he played only 60 minutes in La Liga. The Italo-American winger, who may represent Nigeria, Italy, the United States, or Canada internationally, will join Moses Simon at Stade Jean-Bouin without first returning to England. Fabrizio Romano confirmed the transaction, marking Paris FC's first signing this window.

Koleosho's Background

The former Espanyol youth product appeared in 30 games during Burnley's 2023-24 promotion campaign, but had few opportunities after being demoted from the Premier League. His stint with Espanyol had limited impact, with only two Copa del Rey appearances, prompting his early departure. As an Italy U21 international, he is anticipated to give competition rather than starting right away for the struggling Parisiens.
