Burnley sign Wales goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey that has become a free agent already. Burnley have announced the signing of 34-year-old veteran goalkeeper Hennessey on a two-year contract. Become a local goalkeeper at Turf Moor until the end of the 2022-23 season.

Hennessey’s contract with Crystal Palace officially expired on June 30. This makes it possible to sign contracts for free with any club. Previously there was interest from Chelsea and Aston Villa as well, but in the end the player chose Burnley.

For Hennessey, there is an unusual degree. He made 96 appearances for Wales but lost his number one position to Danny Ward at Euro 2020 while at Crystal Palace last season. Also lost his place in Vicente Guita as well, having only appeared in the Carabao Cup game.
