**Burnley have signed centre-back Axel Tuanzebe on a free transfer following the expiry of his contract with Ipswich Town.**

Tuanzebe made 45 appearances in all competitions for the Tractor Boys and was influential in their promotion to the Premier League during the 2023-24 campaign.

The 27-year-old made 22 top-flight appearances last season and has decided to remain in the Premier League with newly-promoted Burnley rather than sign a new deal with Ipswich.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo defender has reportedly signed a one-year deal at Turf Moor and becomes the Clarets' third summer signing.
