Burnley sign Belgium midfielder Defour

Burnley have signed Belgium midfielder Steven Defour from Anderlecht for an undisclosed club-record fee.

The 28-year-old has signed a three-year deal with the newly promoted Clarets.

Defour has been capped 46 times for Belgium and appeared at the 2014 World Cup, but he missed out on a place in the Euro 2016 squad.

"I hope I can bring my experience to the team and the club to stay in the Premier League," Defour said. "It's a new challenge for me, but I like that."

Defour, who will reportedly cost Burnley £7.35m, won the Portuguese league twice with Porto and also won the Belgian league title twice during his time at Standard Liege.
