Connor Roberts: Wales defender's tears on leaving Swansea for Burnley

Wales defender Connor Roberts felt "emotional" leaving Swansea City for Burnley but added he could not turn down a Premier League move.

But the Swans academy product, currently on the sidelines following groin surgery, admits to mixed emotions.

"There's been plenty of tears," he said.

"Being at Swansea for a very long time and my dream was always to play for Swansea and try and play in the Premier League for Swansea.

"But that's come to at an end now. I'm a Burnley player now and looking forward to doing all I can to play well for them and hopefully still get picked for Wales.
