DONE DEAL: Burnley sign Sheffield Utd midfielder Sander Berge

Burnley have signed Sheffield United midfielder Sander Berge.

The Norway midfielder moves to Turf Moor for £12m on a four-year deal.

"He's an intelligent footballer, with a great eye for a pass and the ability to run with the ball," said Burnley manager Vincent Kompany.

"He also has a strength and physicality that will be invaluable in the Premier League."

Berge also stated, "I have heard a lot of good things about Burnley and seeing the success from outside last season, there's a great project building here.

"It's a great environment full of young talented players from all around the world, so I just think it's the perfect fit for me. The club has high ambitions, making several signings, and it all just fits into what I'm looking for."
