Erik Pieters is delighted to be back in the Premier League after joining the Clarets.
The Dutch international has become Burnley’s first summer signing after agreeing an initial two-year deal at Turf Moor, with the option of a further 12 months
Pieters made 169 top-flight appearances during a six-year stay at Stoke City.
And following the Potters’ relegation in 2018 – and a taste of top tier French football on loan last season at Amiens – the vastly experienced defender jumped at the chance to revive his career among the elite of English football with Sean Dyche’s men.
