Burnley’s new 24-year-old winger came through the ranks at Borussia Dortmun, making 41 appearances for them in total.
He later joined Hoffenheim in January 2020, while enjoying a loan-spell under his new boss at Anderlecht in the 2020-21 season.
The Danish star has won six caps for Denmark and also represented his nation at the 2016 Rio Olympics.
As reported by the Lancashire Telegraph, on his arrival, Larsen said:
“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.”
Larsen is coming off a poor season, with just one goal in 15 games however Kompany will be keen to get the best out of him.
