Shurandy Sambo, Burnley’s first summer acquisition, is adamant about returning Premier League action to Turf Moor.
The 22-year-old, whose contract at PSV Eindhoven expired, signed a four-year contract with Burnley on Friday, and his arrival was officially confirmed.
During Vincent Kompany’s tenure, Sambo was being considered as a possible addition to the Clarets while they were playing in the Premier League.
With first team action limited at PSV, Sambo joined Sparta Rotterdam on a season-long loan for the 2022/23 campaign, where the right-back played all but four games in the Dutch top-flight.
Sambo, a Netherlands Under-21 international, made 14 appearances for PSV last season.
The Dutchman has already had an opportunity to get to know some of his new teammates by taking part in the first week of pre-season testing and training, which has been led by acting head coach Craig Bellamy and his assistant Mike Jackson.
“It’s been good, the guys are really good,” Sambo said.
“The training has gone well and everyone around me wants to help me, which is a great welcome.
“I’m happy to be here and I want to give everything for the club.”
