Walsall secure loan signing of Burnley striker Dan Agyei
Walsall have signed striker Dan Agyei on loan from Premier League Burnley until January.
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."
