Peter Crouch returns to the Premiership

LONDON (Reuters) – Former England striker Peter Crouch returned to the English Premier League on Thursday at the age of 38, after signing a short-term deal allowing him to join Burnley from Stoke City. Welsh striker Sam Fox has been transferred.

The financial details of the transactions were not revealed, but the British media announced that Fox's value was up to 9 million pounds ($ 11.81 million).

Crouch was part of the Stoke squad, who had fallen in second division last season but has played a key role in no match since September.

Tottenham Hotspur striker and former Liverpool striker, who has a contract with Burnley for the end of the season, has played against six Premier League clubs during his career and scored 108 goals.

He also played 42 caps for England and scored 22 goals between 2005 and 2010.

Despite his age, the Croats said that he still had the ambition to play at the highest level.

"I always want to get things done," he told Barnley's website. I want to play more games and I want to score more goals. "

"My style may have changed slightly, I'm over 25. But my abilities have not gone down, I've never had a lot of speed, so I do not have it." I know I can influence matches at this level. "

Fox, who offered Burnley fans a 2-2 draw with Manchester United at Old Trafford on Tuesday, signed a three-and-a-half year contract with Stoke after struggling for a key spot in the Bernley team.

The Wales striker has twice won the Premier League with Burnley in seven seasons with the club, scoring 62 goals in 258 games.

The 29-year-old joined Burnley after Wolverhampton Wanderers and was part of the 2016 Wales semi-final.
