Burnley manager Sean Dyche has stated his delight at the signing of Marvin Sordell, in an interview with Burnley's official website. 

The 23 year old signed from Bolton Wanderers for an undisclosed fee this afternoon, having worked with Dyche before, during their time together at Watford.

Sordell failed to live up to expectations during his time at Bolton, and made 25 appearances, scoring four goals in a tough two year spell at the Trotters after signing for a £3 million fee from Watford in the January of 2012.

Rumours of homesickness and a fall out with Dougie Freedman saw him move on a season long loan to Charlton Athletic, with Sordell scoring seven goals in 31 Skybet Championship games for the South London club.

And Dyche stated that he is looking forward to reuniting with Sordell once again, as Burnley prepare for life back in the Premier League.

Speaking to the official club website, Dyche stated.

“Marvin is slightly different. He has had a tough couple of years over at Bolton after going there for a big fee, but he’s a young man and when you have an awkward time that can teach you as much as anything about yourself.
“He’s still young at 23 and he has still got a lot to learn in the game. We know him as a lad and we don’t feel we need to really revitalise him because it’s there - it’s just about giving him that freedom to express himself as a young footballer.
“There is talent there and that’s important and I think he knows that it is a good chance for him to re-invent or add to what he is.”
