French defensive midfielder Ugo Raghouber, 23, has officially signed for English Championship club Burnley. Lille OSC will receive €5 million plus a percentage of any future resale. Raghouber, who was entering the final year of his contract, had a limited impact at Lille, playing only two matches last season before being loaned to Levante in La Liga, where he featured in 16 games. The transfer is seen as beneficial for all parties, allowing the player to restart his career in England while Lille secures a significant fee for a fringe player.
