"Interest from someone like Burnley is something you can't ignore... and after speaking to the people here I think it will be a really good fit for myself," Legzdins said in a statement on Tuesday.

Legzdins will compete for a starting spot with Tom Heaton and Nick Pope in manager Sean Dyche's squad.

Burnley visit defending champions Chelsea to kick off their Premier League season on Saturday.
