Chadian attacker Loum Tchaouna will undergo a medical examination on Tuesday ahead of his proposed move to English Premier League club Burnley.
The forward and his agent have boarded a flight this evening en route from Italy to England.
This comes after Africasoccer reported last week that Burnley have reached an agreement with Italian side Lazio to proceed with the acquisition of Loum Tchaouna for a fee of 14 million euros.
The transfer initially appeared uncertain, as Lazio’s new head coach, Maurizio Sarri, expressed interest in retaining Tchaouna. However, the Clarets have now moved swiftly to finalise the agreement.
Tchaouna, who has expressed a strong desire to play in England, is reportedly enthusiastic about the move and has already agreed in principle to a five-year contract with Burnley.
The talented forward began his senior career at Stade Rennais in France before making a switch to Italy in 2023. After a stint with Salernitana, he joined Lazio last season, where he made 24 appearances and scored once during the campaign.
Burnley are hoping to bolster their squad with the signing of Loum Tchaouna. The deal is expected to be completed in the coming days.
