Dyche looking forward to development of Burnley new boy Ulvestad

Burnley boss Sean Dyche has explained the reasoning behind the signing of Fredrik Ulvestad earlier this week.

?The Clarets landed the 22-year old Norwegian midfielder from Aalesunds FK on a free transfer following a successful two-week trial.

?It is unusual for Premier League clubs to sign players in March but Dyche simply felt that Ulvestad was the right fit and will now get the chance to develop in very professional environment.

?"He wanted to come in and I think it's a good way of doing business because he gets a chance to have a look at us and we can have a look at him, and he fitted in straight away," Dyche said.

"That was probably the key thing. Sometimes players who are with you and are not part of the group, they look not part of the group, but he fitted in seamlessly and we thought there was more to come from him, so that's why we signed him.

"We're looking forward to him working with us and developing further."?
