NAHKI Wells has labelled his move to Burnley as “ideal”, after signing a three-year transfer deadline day deal from Huddersfield Town.

The 27-year-old striker becomes the Clarets’ seventh signing of the summer, and further boosts the club’s attacking options.

Wells has ended a three-and-a-half year stay with Huddersfield, after helping the Terriers reach the Premier League.

The Bermuda international has not made a top flight appearance with the West Yorkshire club due to minor surgery on an old ankle injury.

But he is now looking forward to making his Premier League debut with Burnley and helping the Clarets to establish themselves at that level.

“I have no doubt this is an ideal move for me,” said Wells.

“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.

“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.”

Wells added: “Burnley is becoming an established Premier League side.

“It’s a group I’m sure I can come in and blend with really quickly and it’s about trying to get out on that pitch as soon as possible and hit the ground running.

“The facilities are fantastic and it has everything you need to take my football to the next level.

“I’m here to grow. It’s a step up for me and it’s one that I’m relishing.

“I don’t see why I can’t learn of the strikers here and hopefully find a combination with the attacking options and play my part in helping move this club forward.”

Burnley lost Andre Gray this summer but signed Jon Walters and club record buy Chris Wood.

Of adding Wells to the ammunition manager Sean Dyche said: “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.”
