Georges-Kevin Nkoudou came on as a substitute for Spurs in their 3-0 FA Cup win over AFC Wimbledon

Burnley have signed Tottenham winger Georges-Kevin Nkoudou on loan for the rest of the season.

The 22-year-old former Nantes and Marseille player joined Spurs for £9.4m in August 2016 after chairman Daniel Levy negotiated a reduced fee.

Nkoudou has made six appearances this season, the latest as a substitute in Sunday's FA Cup win over AFC Wimbledon.

Clarets manager Sean Dyche hopes to have Nkoudou available for Saturday's Premier League trip to Crystal Palace.

"I know the manager likes young players and players who go forward, so it suits my character to come here and I am happy to work with him," Nkoudou said.

"I hope to help the club. If I can, I will - but the last word is with the manager.

"I am ready to play and waiting on the starting blocks. If the manager puts me on the pitch I will to everything on the pitch."
