Burnley Sign Anderlecht's Delcroix

Burnley have signed 24-year-old centre-backHannes Delcroix from Anderlecht.

Vincent Kompany has raided his former side for the defender, who has signed on an undisclosed fee. 

After joining the Clarets, Delcroix said: “I heard I think on Monday or Tuesday last week that Burnley was interested in me. 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.”
