Burnley have made their fourth summer signing after capturing former Dundee United defender Christian Kalvenes on a Bosman transfer.The Norwegian left-back, 31, has penned a two-year deal with the Clarets after his contract with the Scottish outfit expired.

Burnley manager Owen Coyle said: "I am obviously delighted to have secured the signature of Christian, who I have naturally been aware of from my time in Scotland.

"I think he was the best full back in Scotland last year and, as he was available on a Bosman we took the opportunity to try to lure him to the club.

"We had to beat of some serious competition, particularly from one major force in British football, so we are absolutely delighted to have him on board and look forward to working with him."

The Clarets have this week signed Martin Paterson, Kevin McDonald and, subject to a work permit, Peruvian goalkeeper Diego Penny.
