Sander Berge: Burnley sign Norway midfielder from Sheffield United

Burnley have signed midfielder Sander Berge from Sheffield United for a fee in the region of £12m.

The 25-year-old Norway international joins on a four-year deal at Turf Moor and becomes manager Vincent Kompany's 11th signing of the summer.

Berge joined the Blades from Genk in 2020 for a club-record £22m fee and made 109 appearances.

"He's an intelligent footballer, with a great eye for a pass and the ability to run with the ball," Kompany said.

"He also has a strength and physicality that will be invaluable in the Premier League."

Berge came through the youth ranks at Norwegian lower league side Asker and earned a move to Valerenga in the country's top flight in 2015 before he switched to Belgium club Genk in 2017.
