Burnley have signed Rennes full-back Lorenz Assignon on loan until the end of the 2023-24 season.
The 23-year-old links up with Vincent Kompany's side on the back of a productive first half of the campaign with Les Rouges et Noir, scoring two goals and setting up two more in 21 appearances.
Assignon - who can play as a right-back or further up the field - started four of Rennes' Europa League group matches to help Julien Stephan's side reach the knockout round playoffs, where they will face AC Milan.
The defender boasts a total of three goals and six assists in 63 matches for Rennes and is the second Ligue 1 defender to arrive at Turf Moor on loan on deadline day after Montpellier HSC's Maxime Esteve.
"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," the Frenchman told the official Burnley 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."
Assignon - whose Rennes contract runs until 2027 - could make his first appearance for Burnley when Kompany's men host Fulham in Saturday's Premier League showdown. body check tags ::
