Paris FC sign Luca Koleosho on loan from Espanyol
Paris FC have completed the loan signing of 21-year-old winger Luca Koleosho from RCD Espanyol, with an option to buy until the end of the season. Koleosho becomes the Parisian side’s first confirmed addition of the winter transfer window and will wear the number 24 shirt.
Player profile and recent form
Koleosho is an Italy U21 international who impressed during spells in England, making 15 Premier League appearances and 28 in the Championship with Burnley. He moved to Espanyol earlier this season but has seen limited minutes in Spain, featuring three times in La Liga and twice in the Copa del Rey since August.
Why Paris FC moved for him
Sporting director Marco Neppe described Koleosho as “a very fast, energetic attacking player with great intensity, capable of causing problems for opposing defences both with and without the ball.” Neppe added that Koleosho’s sporting qualities, personality and ability to speak French should ease his adaptation to the squad.
Immediate impact and upcoming fixture
Koleosho is eligible to play straight away and could make his debut as early as Monday, when Paris FC travel to face Paris Saint-Germain in the Coupe de France at the Parc des Princes. His arrival provides a fresh attacking option off the wings and depth for the final months of the season.
Transfer implications
The loan-with-option-to-buy structure gives Paris FC flexibility to evaluate Koleosho across competitive fixtures before committing long-term. For Espanyol, the temporary move offers the player a chance for more minutes and to rebuild confidence after limited game time.
Betting angle
Koleosho’s immediate eligibility and reported pacey, direct style make him a candidate for early-match involvement. Punters might consider markets such as starting XI, anytime scorer, or Paris FC to score (cup underdog lines), with his signing likely to slightly shorten Paris FC’s attacking-related odds.
