Kompany takes young Scott Twine to Burnley

Burnley confirmed the signing of Scott Twine on a four-year contract from MK Dons. The 22-year-old attacker, who was named EFL League One Player of the Season 2021-22, recorded an impressive 20 goals and 13 assists last season. 

Twine's 33-goal contribution played a major role in helping MK Dons reach the League One play-offs, as they narrowly missed out on promotion to the Championship.

Speaking about his move to Turf Moor, Twine said: "I'm excited. I definitely made the right decision in joining Burnley. I spoke with the manager and his plans are exciting, it was obvious for me to sign. I can't wait to get started and it feels like the right place for me."

The former Swindon Town player was named in both the 2021-22 EFL League One Team of the Season and the PFA Team of the Year after his prolific season for MK Dons.

Burnley manager Vincent Kompany added: "We are delighted to have brought Scott to the Club. He is an exciting young player who will help us in the short term process and in the long term project at Burnley Football Club.

"He's a player we've looked at for a while now, we know he can score goals and have an impact on games. We are delighted to welcome him into the squad," he stressed.
