The 20-year-old enjoyed a successful loan spell at Coventry last season where he netted four goals in 16 League One appearances.

Agyei joined Burnley for a fee of £100,000 after scoring 35 goals for AFC Wimbledon’s under-18 and under-21 sides during the 2014/15 campaign.

The Clarets edged out fellow Premier League sides Crystal Palace, Chelsea and West Ham to land the hot shot who can also operate as a winger.

And now Saddlers boss Jon Whitney is delighted to add him to his ranks.

“He’s somebody we’ve been tracking over the summer,” he said.

“He’s a really good addition and he’ll strengthen the squad.

"He’s got raw pace and power and he’s got goals in him as well.

"We're really pleased to get Daniel on board."
