Official | Grégoire Coudert join Burnley from Brest

French goalkeeper Grégoire Coudert has made a permanent move from Stade Brestois to Burnley, according to confirmed reports on Wednesday. The 27-year-old, who has signed a four-year contract with Burnley, had previously enjoyed a breakthrough season last year. However, Brest had signed Polish goalkeeper Radoslaw Majecki on loan from AS Monaco, intending him to be the No.1.

Unfortunately, Majecki did not perform well in the early weeks of the season, which led to Coudert becoming the team's first-choice goalkeeper. Despite the hierarchy not being expected to change for the upcoming season, Coudert informed the Breton club about his desire to leave a year before his contract expired. Burnley has now confirmed the transfer, with the Frenchman signing a four-year deal with the EFL Championship side.
