Burnley striker Jelle Vossen says the Clarets' ambition matches that of his former side, Middlesbrough.
Vossen, 26, joined Burnley for an undisclosed fee from Belgian side Genk. Last season he spent a season on-loan at Middlesbrough where he scored seven goals in a total of 33 appearances. Aitor Karanka's side did have an option to keep the striker on a permanent deal but despite fans wanting him to remain at the club, the club bosses decided to take a different route.
Vossen encouraged by Burnley's ambition when choosing his future
When choosing a new destination, Vossen spoke of the "ambition" of the club being important and said the current ambition of the Clarets was "very good." He is yet to get off the mark for his new club - however - he believes Burnley fans will see the best of him over the coming months.
The Lancashire club are yet to win a game after drawing two and losing one in their first few fixtures of the 2015/16 campaign. They drew 1-1 on the opening weekend at Leeds United, drew 2-2 at home to Birmingham City at the weekend and succumbed to their first defeat on Tuesday when they lost 2-0 at Ipswich Town.
A clinical finisher on their hands
Should they restore him to the form he showed at Genk, Burnley have a ready-made goalscorer. The Belgian internaitonal was profilic in the Belgian Pro League with 77 goals in 192 appearances. His most productive seasons were the 2010-11 and 2011-12 campaigns, when he finished second in the goal-scoring charts in those respective seasons.
Middlesbrough assistant Steve Agnew gave Vossen high praise upon joining Burnley. The 49-year-old said he was "one of the best finishers" that he has worked with, and continued by saying he thinks he'll "always score goals."
Vossen will to get off the mark this weekend when Burnley host Brentford at Turf Moor. The Bees are currently unbeaten in the league, so it will not be an easy fixture by any means.
