Burnley have completed the signing of attacking midfielder Manuel Benson from Royal Antwerp.

The Clarets have secured the 25-year-old on a long-term contract.

Benson has spent the past seven seasons in the Belgian top flight, which allowed ex-Anderlecht boss Kompany to witness his talent first-hand.

Clarets manager Kompany said in a statement: "We're delighted to welcome Manuel Benson to the squad.

"He's a hard working player, that will help improve our team, as well as improve his own game in English football.

"He's a one v one specialist, who is a threat in the final third. I have no doubt that he will be giving his all for the club and for his teammates."
