Burnley complete Chris Long signing

Burnley sign Chris Long

Burnley have confirmed that they have signed striker Chris Long from Everton for an undisclosed fee.

The 20-year-old has agreed a three-year deal at Turf Moor, with the option of a further year.

Long has stated that he is looking forward to playing for the Championship side.

"I'm absolutely buzzing to have officially signed and I can't wait to get started," he told Burnley's official website. "I can't thank Everton enough for what they did for me, but I think it's time to start a new chapter in my life and I can't wait to get started with Burnley.

"I've proved that I can score goals in the Championship and I only had two starts. I would have started more without injuries and I'm looking forward to scoring goals for Burnley.

"I'm fresh, young and eager to succeed to be honest and I just want to show the Burnley fans what I can do."

Long scored four goals in 12 Championship appearances while on loan at Brentford last season.
