'Wow', 'Pinch me' - Burnley fans react as Clarets confirm deal for 'perfect' player

The full-back arrives at Turf Moor in a deal believed to be worth around £2.5 million as the Clarets continue to bolster their ranks in preparation for an assault on the Premier League table.

Roberts came through the academy system at the Libery Stadium, and has been a member of the Swans’ first team squad since 2017.

Generally operating on the right side of defence, he has also amassed 30 caps for Wales – including a run at this summer’s Euro 2020.

Speaking about the deal, Clarets chief Alan Pace said: “On behalf of everyone at Burnley Football Club, we are delighted to welcome Connor to 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.

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