Lugano has announced the signing of defender Hannes Delcroix from Premier League club Burnley on a two-and-a-half-year contract. Lugano is the third-placed team in the Super League.

Lugano is nearing the completion of the signing of Haitian international Hannes Delcroix from Premier League club Burnley. It is reported that negotiations over the transfer fee are in their final stages, and the 26-year-old could travel to Ticino for a medical check-up this week. The central defender, who joined Burnley from Anderlecht in August 2023 for a fee that was reported to be three million euros, is not part of the English club's plans for the current season. It is said that Delcroix views the move as an opportunity to get into form for the World Cup with Haiti.
