The Manchester-born 19-year-old spent 12 years at City, going on to make three first-team appearances.

Egan-Riley becomes ex-City skipper Vincent Kompany's third signing since his appointment as Clarets boss.

While technically no fee applies, because of the player's age City could yet receive compensation.

The Clarets could pay a development fee based around reaching certain criteria, while a sell-on clause has also been included.

"CJ is a player we have been watching closely for a long time," Kompany told the club website.

"He is a promising and talented footballer with an excellent mindset and attitude.

"We are delighted he has agreed to join. CJ has shown a real hunger and he wants to learn and succeed at Burnley. He fits perfectly into our culture and he is a fantastic addition to our squad."
