Burnley confirm Vincent Kompany reunion with tenth summer signing | OneFootball

Burnley have confirmed the signing of Anderlecht defender Hannes Delcroix.

The 24-year-old arrives as Turf Moor’s tenth signing of the summer window in a reported £4.2m deal.

Vincent Kompany previously worked with Delcroix, who has signed a three-year contract with the Clarets, while managing in his homeland.

“I heard I think on [last] Monday or Tuesday last week that Burnley was interested in me,” said Delcroix.

“It went really quick. I had a phone call with Vinny and Saturday I was already on the plane. So, it went very quick. It was a very busy few days, but I am happy to be here now.

“It’s a different competition, the Premier League. Everybody knows it. It’s the best competition in the world at the moment.

“For me, it’s a big opportunity to come here and it’s a great team. It was not difficult to come here when I got the option.”

Burnley entertain Aston Villa on Saturday as they aim to secure their first Premier League points of the season.
