Burnley have signed winger Jacob Bruun Larsen on a season-long loan from Hoffenheim.
The 24-year-old winger came through the youth ranks at Borussia Dortmund and has spent the last four seasons with Bundesliga club Hoffenheim, including a loan spell with Belgian side Anderlecht in 2020/21, where he played under Kompany.
After being part of Denmark's squad for the Rio 2016 Olympics, Larsen has earned six senior international caps.
Larsen told the club's official website: "I'm really happy and excited to be here. I wanted to come to Burnley, the whole project really inspired me and as soon as I heard of the possibility, I knew it was what I wanted to do.
"It's a dream for me to be here and get the opportunity to play in the Premier League. I hope we can do great things this season and I'm really looking forward to it now."
Burnley fans may get their first glimpse of Larsen in pre-season against Real Betis on Friday.
He could make his Premier League debut against champions Manchester City when Burnley kick off their first season back in the top flight on Friday 11 August.
