Burnley have completed the signing of Matej Vydra from Derby for an undisclosed fee.<\/p>\n

Vydra, 26, who was the Championship\u2019s top scorer with 21 goals last season, has penned a three-year deal at Turf Moor with the option to extend that by another 12 months.<\/p>\n

The Czech, who joined the Rams two years ago, has previously played in the top flight with West Brom and Watford.<\/p>\n

Vydra told the club\u2019s official website: \u201cI think five years ago I was like a kid in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow I feel I have more experience in English football, I speak better English and I have learned more in England, so I hope I\u2019m a better player than five years ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the last four years I have been fighting to be in the Premier League. I haven\u2019t done it with the teams I was playing for and sometimes it has to be done with a transfer and now I\u2019m so happy.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy ambition is to play in the best league in the world so thank you to the gaffer here and to Burnley for giving me a hand to play in the Premier League and now it\u2019s about me to show he chose the right person and hopefully I will be successful with mine and Burnley\u2019s targets.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vydra joins Sean Dyche\u2019s Clarets, who finished seventh in the Premier League last season, on the same day they completed a deal for former England number one Joe Hart<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He left a message of support to Derby \u2013 wishing them the best of luck in the Championship this season.<\/p>\n
