BREAKING! A Shocking Thing That Leeds United Rivals Did
Managerless Burnley have secured former PSV Eindhoven right-back Shurandy Sambo on a free transferLeeds United’s Championship rivals Burnley have announced the signing of former Netherlands Under-21 international Shurandy Sambo. The Clarets, who are still looking for a new manager, have already confirmed the permanent signings of Maxime Esteve and Mike Tresor following their successful loan spells last season.
But as they continue their preparations for life back in the second tier, they have now secured the addition of their first fresh face. Sambo joins Burnley on a free transfer after being released by Dutch giants PSV Eindhoven, where he made 15 senior appearances, at the end of last season.
The 22-year-old has penned a four-year deal with the Clarets and is expected to compete for a spot at right-back. As such, his addition could lead to Connor Roberts’ permanent exit from Turf Moor.
Roberts spent the second half of last season on loan at Elland Road and while his game time was limited to just three starts in all competitions, Leeds have been linked with a permanent move for the Welshman. With Vitinho at the club as well, Sambo’s arrival could well pave the path for Roberts to leave the club, be that to Leeds or elsewhere.
Speaking after securing his long-term deal with the Clarets, Sambo told the club website: “I’m very happy to be here and I’m ready to show myself now. I chose Burnley because it’s a historic club with a good fan base and it was the right choice for me.
