    Congolese defender David Tutonda has joined Accrington Stanley from Rochdale on a one-year deal.

    Tutonda, 30, came through the youth system at Cardiff City and has played for clubs including Gillingham, Morecambe and Barnet.

    Stanley boss John Doolan told the club website: "David is someone we've been looking at a while. He is a very good player, very experienced and knows the league well."

    A previous move to Stanley fell through and Tutonda said: "That was an opportunity I missed, so I'm glad it's come back around."

    Galatasaray have confirmed former Chelsea midfielder Lesley Ugochukwu has joined them on loan from Burnley in a deal that could eventually be worth £25.5m.

    The Turkish club said in a statement that they have agreed to pay a £3m loan fee this season for the Clarets' record signing.

    They also have the option of making the deal permanent next summer for another £22.5m or his transfer becomes obligatory if Ugochukwu makes 25 appearances.

    Burnley need to sell after being relegated from the Premier League and Ugochukwu flew into Istanbul from Paris on Monday night on a private jet to complete the deal.

    The former France Under-21 international has passed a medical and Galatasaray say he has agreed a contract worth £2.25m a year.

    Ugochukwu, 22, told Galatasaray's YouTube Channel: "I'm proud to be here. I'm very happy. I've come to a very big team. Since I was a kid, I've always wanted to play for big clubs. Coming to this big club completes this happiness for me. I can't wait to meet our fans and get to know everyone."

    Burnley paid a club record £25m for Ugochukwu when they signed him and Armando Broja from Chelsea last summer in a combined deal worth £45m.

    Ugochukwu, who spent the 2024-25 campaign on loan at Southampton, made 35 Premier League appearances last season under former manager Scott Parker in their unsuccessful campaign to avoid relegation.

  12. 'Burnley fans will be underwhelmed'

    Unsworth: 'It's a wonderful opportunity'

    It took several months for Burnley to move on from former boss Scott Parker to new head coach Nicky Hayen, but it's not just the timing that's bothering former Clarets defender David Unsworth.

    After several linked names appeared to fall through since Parker's departure in April, including Wales boss Craig Bellamy, Unsworth has concerns that Hayen's appointment may be a shot in the dark.

    "There's been no communication behind it and that's the disappointing thing for me," the 52-year-old said.

    "It's been poorly planned out and to take so long is not ideal. I'm sure the Burnley fans will all be sat feeling underwhelmed at the moment.

    "The time and the choice and the names that were linked with the job, or turned down the job, this one just feels like have they just made a quick decision on who is available, if he's the only one available."

  16. 'It'll be difficult for Hayen to know who to keep'

    It's in with the new for Burnley's managerial seat but should they say out with the old in terms of their coaching staff?

    Before the appointment of Belgian head coach Nicky Hayen, talks between the club and Wales manager Craig Bellamy broke down in June with coaching staff understood to be an issue.

    But while BBC Radio Lancashire's Dan Jewell thinks Hayen will eventually look to build his own backroom team, the staff brought in by former boss Scott Parker could be crucial to managing Burnley's inflated squad in the interim.

    "I think Nicky Hayen would be well advised to lean heavily on these guys that are there and know these players," Jewell said.

    "To know which of the ones that have been on the cusp for Burnley to keep, and to know which of the players to move on, will be very difficult.

    "I wouldn't be surprised if we see him bring in a raft of his own people, certainly in the short-to-medium term; maybe that will be something that happens further down the line."
