Portuguese Midfielder Swaps Burnley for Ipswich

Ipswich Town has secured the signing of Florentino Luís from Burnley, the newly promoted Premier League club announced. The midfielder has penned a five-year deal with the Tractor Boys.

British media reports indicate that the Suffolk-based club will pay £16 million for the 26-year-old Portuguese international.

Luís spent last season on loan at Burnley from Benfica, with the Clarets having an obligation to buy the midfielder this summer. Florentino Luís featured in 33 matches for Burnley during the past campaign. The midfielder also had previous loan spells at Monaco and Getafe.

"It's great to be part of this club. The long-term vision is what convinced me to accept this offer," stated the Portuguese footballer.
