Burnley have signed Paul Gascoigne on loan until the end of the season. The 34-year-old former England international had signalled his intent to quit Goodison Park to new manager David Moyes after Walter Smith was sacked earlier this week.
Gascoigne will make his debut for Burnley in next Wednesday’s game against Bradford. “We've just missed the deadline (for tomorrow's home game with Preston) but he will be at the match - and he'll be playing for us at Bradford on Wednesday evening. We were making enquiries for him – but he was very loyal to Walter Smith. However, when he left Everton there was chink of light for us. The deal is to the end of the season then we'll sit down and discuss the future,” said Burnley chairman Barry Kilby.
