Burnley have confirmed the signing of Nahki Wells from Premier League rivals Huddersfield.
The 27-year-old has penned a three-year deal at Turf Moor and has joined for an undisclosed fee.
“Burnley Football Club is delighted to confirm the signing of Nahki Wells on a three-year contract,” a statement read on the club’s official website.
“The Clarets completed the deadline-day signing of the striker, 27, from Premier League rivals Huddersfield Town for an undisclosed fee.
“Wells ends a three and-a-half-year stay with the Terriers after helping the West Yorkshire club climb into the top-flight.
“The Bermuda international scored 48 goals in 152 appearances for Huddersfield after a prolific stay with Bradford City, where he also won promotion and helped the then-League Two side reach the 2013 League Cup final during a season which saw him score 26 times.”
On his move to the Clarets, Wells said: “I have no doubt this is an ideal move for me.
“I have played at every level besides the Premier League. I achieved that by getting promoted (with Huddersfield) and it wasn’t something that was going to change. I have always wanted to play there.
“I’ve documented that way back, when I first broke into the game.
“Now the opportunity is here and I’m very thankful to the football club to give it to me. I feel I can go on and do great things.”
Burnley boss Sean Dyche added: “We welcome Nahki as another striking option and a player that is different to those we have.
“He holds a different-skill set and therefore we feel can only enhance our attacking options in due course."
