The 25-year-old has joined the Premier League newcomers for an undisclosed fee, rumoured to be an initial £10m fee, penning a four-year contract at Portman Road.

The Kosovo international played a key role in his debut season with the Clarets following his £3m move from Manchester City, who are expected to benefit financially from his move.

He made 41 Championship appearances as Vincent Kompany’s men romped to the title and was named in the division’s team of the season.

James Trafford controversially took his number one spot in the Premier League, before eventually reclaiming his jersey when Trafford was dropped in March.

The stopper started the final 10 games of the Premier League and still managed to impress despite two high-profile errors in back-to-back games against Everton and Brighton respectively.
