DONE DEAL: Kompany excited as Basel striker Zeki Amdouni joins Burnley

FC Basel striker Zeki Amdouni has joined Burnley in a permanent transfer.

The 22-year-old was last season's top scorer in the Europa League with seven goals.

"Zeki is such a goal threat," said Burnley manager Vincent Kompany.

"He's been on our radar for quite a while now. The way he can play the final pass creates so many assists and thanks to the amount of work he puts in on the pitch he scores plenty himself.

"He's a very intelligent footballer, technically gifted and with a great work ethic. He's a big talent."

Amdouni has penned a five-year contract with Burnley.
