Burnley manager Stan Ternent has moved to tighten up the Clarets' leaky defence with the signing of French defender Drissa Diallo.

Diallo has signed a month's contract with the Turf Moor club after his Belgian club Mechelen went into liquidation.

The 30-year-old, who was born in Mauritania but has French nationality, has been with Mechelen for the past four years.

Diallo will be in Burnley's squad for their game against Ipswich Town on Saturday as Ternent looks to improve the second-worst defensive record in the First Division.
