Burnley have completed the signing of VfB Stuttgard wideman Darko Churlinov for an undisclosed fee.

The 22-year-old has put pen to paper over a four-year deal at Turf Moor, subject to international clearance.

Churlinov came through the ranks at FC Koln, breaking into the first-team picture during the 2019/20 campaign.

He made the move to Stuttgard later that season and was part of the squad that won promotion to the Bundesliga.

Churlinov has also represented the Macedonian national team 17 occasions, having made his international debut at just 16 years of age.

"I'm feeling very excited to be here. I'm really looking forward to this season ahead," he told the club's website.

“There’s no time to lose and I’m really looking forward to tomorrow and the upcoming weeks.”

Churlinov becomes the Clarets’ 12th signing of the summer as the club aims to bounce back from relegation from the Premier League.

Vincent Kompany added: "Darko is an attacking minded player with an outstanding work-rate and mentality within the game.

“We have a good relationship with Vfb Stuttgart and thank them for enabling us to bring a promising young player to our group.

“We’re looking forward to welcoming him to the team and we are happy he is a part of the future at this club.”

Kompany’s men are back in action on Saturday afternoon when they welcome Blackpool to Turf Moor in the first of many Lancashire derbies this season.
