Is Jelle Vossen an ideal replacement for Danny Ings at Burnley?

Burnley’s bid to bounce straight back into the Premier League (9/2 with Coral for Championship promotion) has been bolstered by the arrival of former Belgium striker Jelle Vossen at Turf Moor.

The 26-year-old has signed a three-year deal with the Clarets, after passing a medical and agreeing personal terms, having spent last season on loan at beaten play-off finalists Middlesbrough.

Aitor Karanka’s Teesside team reportedly had the option to purchase Vossen permanently up until March 31st, but instead waited to see whether they went up.

For Boro to lose one of their attacking talents to a promotion rivals is a big blow, especially as Championship player of the year Patrick Bamford has returned to parent club Chelsea following a season-long loan spell.

Sean Dyche has also lost a striker in now former England Under-21 international Danny Ings, however, so have Burnley secured the ideal replacement for him in Vossen?

Netting nine times in 42 appearances across all competitions for Middlesbrough cannot be considered a great return, but Karanka would often rotate players. The Clarets have a close-knit squad, so that sort of thing is out of the question.
