Burnley signs striker Nimani

Burnley manager Brian Laws has made his first signing for the Premier League club with the loan acquisition of France under-21 striker Frederic Nimani from Monaco.

Burnley says it signed Nimani until the end of the season despite interest in the player from three other Premier League clubs.

The club said Friday that the deal was made "with a view to a possible permanent move."

Nimani has scored one goal in eight games for Monaco this season.

Laws replaced Owen Coyle as manager last week when Coyle switched to Bolton.
