Burnley veteran Ashley Westwood has said Vincent Kompany has been 'spot on' since taking over as manager.

The former Manchester City defender has taken over at Turf Moor after his first managerial spell with Anderlecht.

Westwood told the club's website: "I played against him for most of my career, so I know what kind of guy he is. He's a top guy and you hear a lot of good things about him, Joe Hart spoke well about him too.

"Since he's come in with his staff, everything's been spot on. The lads come in from training and say how good it is, how exciting it is.

"I've been doing a bit of work with the academy staff, and he's already been up there to have a look at the academy setup. It's definitely exciting times and hopefully I can be a part of that [on the pitch] in the very near future."
