Burnley have signed French right-back Lorenz Assignon on loan from Rennes for the remainder of the 2023/24 season.
“I’m really happy, it’s been a long day and it’s been a day of hard decisions but I’m very pleased to be here," Assignon told the club's official website.
“I had a number of clubs to choose from but I spoke to the manager and straight away knew that I wanted to be here.
“I’m ready to go. It’s the best league in the world and I’m really excited to be a part of it.”
The 23-year-old came through the academy at Rennes and has played 60 times for the Ligue 1 side.
Assignon is the second senior arrival at Turf Moor on Deadline Day, with France Under-21 defender Maxime Esteve joining from Ligue 1 side Montpellier.
