Burnley boss Kompany completes second transfer of summer as he raids EFL for goalkeeper who was named in team of season | The Sun

VINCENT KOMPANY has completed his second signing of the summer transfer window.

The Manchester City legend – who guided Burnley to the Championship title last season – is gearing up for Premier League football.


Defender Jordan Beyer made his loan from Borussia Monchengladbach permanent as Kompany's first piece of business.

And now he has strengthened his defence further by signing goalkeeper Lawrence Vigouroux from Leyton Orient.

The club announced the deal with a hilarious clip from The Inbetweeners movie, with Vigouroux edited in.

And he said: “It’s amazing to be here! An unbelievable training ground to be a part of and I’m really happy!

“You only have to look around where we’re working and training every day.

"This was the right step and the right way to go. Hopefully I can leave an impression here.”

Vigouroux was named in the EFL League Two team of the season and will now rival Burnley's No1 Arijanet Muric.

The stopper began his youth career at Brentford and Tottenham before leaving for Liverpool in 2014.
