DONE DEAL: Burnley sign Swansea defender Roberts

Burnley have signed Wales international defender Connor Roberts from Swansea.

Roberts, 25, whose Swansea contract was due to expire next summer, joins the Clarets for an undisclosed fee and on a four-year deal.

Academy product Roberts was a firm favourite at Swansea having made 152 appearances for his local club.

He is Burnley's fifth major summer signing, joining Nathan Collins, Wayne Hennessey, Aaron Lennon and Maxwel Cornet at Turf Moor.

"It's great to add another player with strong international experience to our squad and provide an opportunity for Connor to play Premier League football again having provided outstanding service to Swansea and impressed on the international stage with Wales," said Burnley chairman Alan Pace.

"We look forward to seeing him in action soon."
