Burnley have made their sixth summer signing, reuniting midfielder Josh Cullen with his former Anderlecht boss Vincent Kompany.

The Republic of Ireland international arrives at Turf Moor on a three-year contract, for an undisclosed fee, believed to be between €3/3.5m.

He left the Purple and Whites’ training camp in Horst in the Netherlands on Friday to travel to discuss a move to Burnley, to play under Kompany, who signed him two years ago after 15 years with West Ham.
