The 27-year-old, who recently underwent ankle surgery, successfully underwent a medical today and has now sealed his switch to the Clarets, whose manager Sean Dyche has been tracking him for some time.

Wells had under a year left on his contract at Huddersfield, with Town - who have brought in Steve Mounie, Laurent Delpoitre and Thomas Ince to boost their attacking options in the summer transfer window - electing to cash in now rather than lose him on a free transfer next summer.

The Bermudian international's transfer to Turf Moor will also land a welcome cash windfall for League One outfit Bradford City, who will receive 15 per cent of any profit made on the striker, who moved to Town from the Bantams for an initial £1.25m in January 2014.

City will also receive an additional £50,000 fee from neighbours Huddersfield.

Wells scored 48 goals in 152 games for Town.
