Burnley Football Club are pleased to confirm the signing of Brazilian defender Vitinho from Cercle Brugge on a four-year deal for undisclosed fee.
The 23-year-old has spent the last four seasons in Brugge, making over 70 first team appearances in the Belgium first division.
The Belo Horizonte-born right-back made the switch to Europe from Brazilian side Cruzeiro Esporte Clube in the summer of 2018, where he had been since he was six-years-old.
Internationally, Vitinho has represented Brazil U20’s and was called up to the provisional senior Brazil squad ahead of the Russia 2018 World Cup.
Vitinho said: “I am very happy to be here, it’s a big club, it’s a very exciting place to be.
“The players, the manager, the coaches, the training centre, it’s great for me and will only help me get better as a player.”
Manager Vincent Kompany said: “We’re pleased to add Vitinho to our team, he’s a quick & strong full-back, who will get forward and can defend well.
“He has great technical ability and will be a great addition to our squad, we look forward to welcoming him to the team.”
