Peter Crouch's Burnley move came as a huge surprise to many

In one of the moves that set the English Premier League on fire during the winter transfer window, Burnley FC announced the signing of former English International, Peter Crouch from Stoke City, taking many by surprise with their decision to bring the attacker back to the EPL.

After spending half of the season representing Stoke City in the Championship, Crouch decided to move to the Turf Moor in a deal that also saw Wales striker Sam Vokes moving the other way.

Having just celebrated his 38th birthday recently, it came as a huge surprise to many Burnley fans with the club's decision to sign the former Stoke City man but Clarets coach, Dyche stated that he had no hesitation signing the attacker.

He explained:

''I've never been too bothered about people's age''

''I don't factor age in when people are as motivated as big Crouchy"
