BURNLEY boss Sean Dyche admitted he had been tracking new Turf signing Johann Berg Gudmundsson long before the 25-year-old played a key role in helping Iceland to the quarter finals of Euro 2016.

The winger completed his move to the Clarets on Tuesday for an undisclosed fee on a three year contract with a club option for a fourth.

And Dyche is delighted with his first piece of summer business, having kept a keen eye on the former Charlton man last season.

Dyche said: “Johann we feel is a quality player who we saw last season playing at Charlton in a tough time and we liked the quality he showed.

“It helps to see a player in the European Championships with that kind of company and he did well there so it was one we all agreed would be a good acquisition for the club and we look forward to working with him going forward."

Gudmundsson, who played as Iceland knocked England out of the European Championships, admitted he needed little persuasion in joining the Clarets.

“It’s fantastic to be here. It’s a club that’s shown a lot of interest in me and I’m really happy to come and play for Burnley,” he said.

“It was a good season for myself, unfortunately not for Charlton and then we had a good Euros for Iceland.

“It feels like a family club and like everyone is tight to each other. The atmosphere around the club is fantastic and playing against the team last season I saw just how good the club was – I definitely wanted to join.”
