Clarets capture strike target

Burnley, 17:33, June 1, 2010 ,

Burnley boss Brian Laws has completed the signing of Chris Iwelumo from Wolves for an undisclosed fee, thought to be £500,000.

Iwelumo has been linked with a move to Turf Moor since the season ended and he has now completed a switch to Burnley, signing a two-year deal.
Laws said: "I'm delighted to bring Chris Iwelumo to Burnley, I think he is going to be a fantastic addition.
"Chris is not a gamble, he is proven in the Championship and has been promoted four times. He has also averaged about 15 goals a season which tells you he can play.
"His link-up play and knowledge of the game are great and he will be fantastic for the dressing room. He's a winner and can give us something different."
Wolves have been linked with Burnley man Steven Fletcher but it is not thought the deal for Iwelumo will have any influence on a potential transfer involving the former Hibs forward.
