Former Coventry City striker Lukas Jutkiewicz has completed his move to Burnley.

The Clarets paid Middlesbrough around £1.5m for the services of the former Everton, Southampton, Motherwell, Plymouth, Huddersfield and Bolton player who has signed a three year deal.

Sean Dyche said about signing Jutkiewicz for the Premier League side: "I still think there is development in Lukas, he's 25 and has been around a little bit now and he finished last season very strongly.

"I feel there is even more to come and he'll be hungry for that. He'll be working with a good group who are all hungry to not only achieve things but to keep pushing themselves as individuals. That's a big part of our mentality and he'll fit into that very nicely.

"He's a physical presence who can hold the ball up very well and link play. We think there are goals in him and it is very similar to the Sam Vokes story where he's always done well and we're looking for him to build on what he's done.

"There is a nice demand now in that area of the pitch as all the players offer something different to the team so we're happy with how that is developing."

Coventry City are set to get a pay-off from the deal after having sell-on clauses inserted into the sale of Jutkiewicz to MIddlesbrough.
