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

Vitinho had spent the past four seasons with Cercle Bruges

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

The 23-year-old has represented Brazil up to under-20 level.

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.
