Vitinho: Burnley sign full-back from Cercle Brugge for undisclosed fee

Burnley have signed Cercle Brugge full-back Vitinho for an undisclosed fee on a four-year deal.

The Clarets, who were relegated from the Premier League last season, start the new Championship campaign with a trip to Huddersfield on Friday.

"He's a quick & strong full-back, who will get forward and can defend well," boss Vincent Kompany told the club website.

Former Manchester City defender Kompany spent two years as Anderlecht boss prior to joining Burnley, and has signed several players from the Belgian league this summer.
