Burnley leave fans in hysterics again announcing new signing in style of Most Haunted

Burnley leave fans in hysterics again announcing the new signing Darko Churlinov in the style of the Most Haunted TV show.

On Friday afternoon, the Championship outfit were back to doing what they did best, with thousands of Twitter users taking to laugh at how the club revealed the latest addition to their squad.

This time, the paranormal TV show ‘Most Haunted’ featured, and new signing Darko cleverly edited to look like he was the ‘ghost’ spooking Yvette Fielding and her fellow crew…

CLUB STATEMENT:

Burnley Football Club are delighted to confirm the signing of forward Darko Churlinov on a four-year deal from VfB Stuttgart for an undisclosed fee, subject to international clearance.

Churlinov has spent the last four seasons across the Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 with Stuttgart, including a loan spell at Schalke 04 last year, helping them return to the German top-flight in the process.

The 22-year-old winger rose through the academy ranks as a youngster at FC Koln II, before breaking into the FC Koln first team in the 2019/20 campaign. The Skopje-born attacker then made the move to Stuttgart later that season, achieving promotion to the Bundesliga.

Churlinov has 17 senior international caps for Macedonia, after becoming the youngster ever player to represent the Macedonian national team at 16-years-old in March 2017.

After becoming a Claret, Churlinov said: “I’m feeling very excited to be here, I’m really looking forward to this season ahead.

“There’s no time to lose and I’m really looking forward to tomorrow and the upcoming weeks.”

Manager Vincent Kompany said: “Darko is an attacking minded player with an outstanding work-rate and mentality within the game.

“We have a good relationship with Vfb Stuttgart and thank them for enabling us to bring a promising young player to our group.

“We’re looking forward to welcoming him to the team and we are happy he is a part of the future at this Club.”

Last week, the Clarets sealed the loan capture of Nathan Tella, but to reveal it, they featured Bruce Forsyth’s iconic Generation Game television programme to announce the deal on their Twitter account.

Now for those who are not familiar with The Generation Game, is a long-running BBC game show most notably hosted by the late Bruce Forsyth, who went on to be a much loved presenter of Strictly Come Dancing.

Part of the game involved contestants having to remember items that passed them on a conveyor belt, which they then won if they could name them.

In a superbly done video, Burnley made a mock up of the show using Forsyth and two contestants, with items like Fruitella, Nutella, an umbrella and paella all rolling past.

Then last of all it showed Tella himself lying on a sofa as he cruised past the contestants.

The video has gone viral online, getting over a million views in a few hours, with all fans saying the same thing after the innovative work from Burnley’s social media team.

This isn’t the only new signing announcement video that has proven a hit with fans. Here are some others from this and previous transfer windows…
