Daniel Agyei: Burnley farm out striker for six months

Ghana-born forward Daniel Ebenezer Kwasi Agyei has left Burnley for lower tier Walsall on a six-month loan deal.

The move is however subject to clearance, the League One club said in an announcement.

Agyei, 20, made three Premier League appearances from the bench for the Clarets after he was recalled from loan in January. But the summer arrivals of Chris Wood, Jon Walters and Nahki Wells pushed him further down the pecking order.

“He’s somebody we’ve been tracking over the summer. He’s really highly thought of at Burnley and he made his Premier League debut against Liverpool at Anfield last season.

“He went out to Coventry last season and impressed there. He’s been highly sought after by several clubs but we have got the deal done.

“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,” Saddlers boss Jon Whitney told the club website.

Daniel Agyei spent the first half of last season on loan at Coventry City where he scored four goals in 16 League One outings.
