Burton Albion sign Abdenasser El Khayati

Burton were fifth in League Two when Hasselbaink took over in November and are now third, one point off the top of the table

Burton Albion have signed Dutch forward Abdenasser El Khayati on a contract until the end of the season.

El Khayati started his career at PSV Eindhoven and moves to the League Two promotion hopefuls from Kozakken Boys.

The 25-year-old has scored 10 goals in 10 games so far this season.

Albion manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink said: "He is a striker but can play on the wing. He is a creative player, somebody who sees a pass and who can provide for the other striker."

El Khayati had been on trial with Championship side Reading.

Hasselbaink added: "He is a player that a lot of people have been looking at in Holland.

"He came here to train with us for a few days. We liked him."
