Vydra had been deemed surplus to requirements at Derby.

The highly rated 26 year old will be delighted to have returned to the Premier League, where he has previously enjoyed a spell with former club Watford, and told reporters after signing the deal: 

"For the last four years I have been fighting to be in the Premier League.

"I haven't done it with the teams I was playing for and sometimes it has to be done with a transfer and now I'm so happy."

According to reports, Burnley's transfer business is in no way complete and yesterday the club have also wrapped up a deal to sign England international goalkeeper Joe Hart from Manchester City in a cut price deal.
