    Southampton have signed left-back Charlie Taylor from Burnley on a two-year deal.

    The 30-year-old joints the Saints having made 161 Premier League appearances in his career to date.

    Taylor leaves the Clarets, where he played 104 times, after seven years.

    "I’m really excited," said Taylor to the Saints website about his switch. "It just feels like the right fit.

    "Everyone I spoke to about the club have only got great words to say. So I am excited and can't wait to get started.

    "Straight away, [Southampton boss Russell Martin] really impressed me. The way he talks about football is the way I like to see it too. Him being the manager was a massive pulling point.

    "I feel as though it was too good an opportunity to turn down."

    Martin added: "Charlie brings a wealth of Premier League experience to the side which will be vital for us.

    "He’s a great character who will fit into what we’re building here. Technically he’s a gifted passer of the ball and has versatility."

    Jay Rodriguez has extended his Burnley stay by signing a one-year extension at Turf Moor.

    The 34-year-old has made 288 appearances for his hometown club and this will take him into his 11th year with the Clarets.

    "It's a great feeling and a real privilege to represent Burnley," Rodriguez told the club website. "Being offered another year was a proud moment and there was no way I could say no.

    "It was a no brainer for myself, my family and my friends and there was nothing else in my mind apart from signing and playing for this club for as long as I can.

    "Burnley is all I've known. The football club is a massive part of the town and to be able to represent Burnley is always special."

  13. Who do you want as the next Clarets manager?

    Your views image

    We asked for your views on Burnley's vacant manager position.

    Here's who some of you want to replace Vincent Kompany:

    Mark: I think Liam Rosenior, he did a good job at Hull. He was the brains behind Rooney at Derby and he knows the league, plus he's an up and coming young manager. He's a better choice than Lampard and others in the frame.

    Gazo: Cooper or Potter, both proven managers. Definitely don't want Lampard.

    Kieron: To me the answer is simple and would make sense. Craig Bellamy isn’t going to Bayern with VK and he has been at the centre during VK’s tenure. As a player he has a great track record and the heart of a lion. While he probably has little experience of being a manager, he has been there during the best and the worst of the last two seasons.

    James: We need a manager that believes in a similar style of play due to the squad we have built. Of the available managers Corberan would be my first choice. West Brom were the only team to outplay us in the Championship.

    Simon: David Moyes would be my choice.

    Andy: I hope the board continues with the appointment of an up and coming emerging managerial talent. Ruud van Nistelrooy ticks those boxes.

    Paul Scott-Bates: Scott Parker.

    So, Vincent Kompany's tenure at Turf Moor has officially come to an end, as a club statement on Wednesday confirmed his departure to Bayern Munich.

    Time to look to the future then. Who do you want to see in the Clarets dugout next, Clarets fans? Let us know here

  19. Cooper uninterested in Burnley role as he eyes Premier League return

    Former Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper has declined the opportunity to pursue the Burnley job once it becomes available.

    Welshman Cooper has been out of work since being sacked by Forest in December and is instead aiming for a return to the Premier League.

    Newly promoted Leicester City is a possible destination for the 44-year-old, with current Foxes boss Enzo Maresca in talks to join Chelsea.

    Burnley coach Vincent Kompany is closing in on a shock move to Bayern Munich after he agreed a deal in principle to join the Bundesliga giants.

    BBC Sport understands former Chelsea and Everton coach Frank Lampard would be interested in taking over at Turf Moor should the opportunity arise.

    It is believed Kompany has agreed a deal until 2027, with Bayern set to pay £10.2m in compensation.

    On Tuesday, the Germany side’s director Karl-Heinz Rummenigge told Sky Germany that the “last details” needed to be sorted out for the Belgian’s arrival.

    Rummenigge said: “Our sporting director [Max Eberl] has chosen Kompany, it is not yet official but there are only the last details to be sorted out. I am convinced that Kompany will arrive in the end.

    “Pep Guardiola spoke to us in a very positive way about Vincent. He had him at [Manchester] City as captain and Pep also followed him when he was at Burnley, so he gave us a good hand."

  21. 'Kompany still ticks a lot of boxes'

    German football writer Raphael Honigstein has been discussing Bayern Munich's surprise move for Burnley boss Vincent Kompany on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club:

    "They said they had him on the list all along but it wouldn't have been on the shortlist - it was a very, very long list.

    "As their preferred options kept falling through they changed tact and looked a little bit in a different shelf. He still ticks a lot of boxes in terms of personality and being German speaking.

    "A big personality, great character and charisma. The kind of guy that can inspire a dressing room, that can breed the kind of togetherness that has been missing in recent years.

    "Bayern feel the second Burnley season is less representative of what he can do with decent players in a different league than the first one. It is a bit of gamble, a bit of risk but when you're low on options it is worth taking that risk."

  22. 'Improving Bayern should really be possible' for Kompany

    Vincent Kompany gestures on the touchlinePA Media

    German football journalist Raphael Honigstein spoke to BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club about the potentially reduced expectations on Vincent Kompany if the Burnley manager is appointed by Bayern Munich as Thomas Tuchel's successor.

    Honigstein said: "Unlike his predecessors from the past 10 to 11 years, he comes into a Bayern team that finished third [in the Bundesliga], so improving on that is going to be easier than anyone who came in after Jupp Heynckes, who won the treble in 2013.

    "For once, Bayern might even prepare to say winning the championship - which is almost seen as a given and the very minimum - will be a big success, because the season was so poor and Kompany is coming in as an inexperienced manager at this level.

    "Getting Bayern back to the number one spot, which should be possible considering their resources, has gone from the mere minimum to actually a decent outcome for the season.

    "I know coaches often think about improving what their predecessor has done - he's actually in a comfortable position in that respect. Improving this Bayern team should really be possible because of their poor performances, the Champions League notwithstanding last season."
