Burnley is a club that wants to be back in the Premier League and I want to be back along with everyone else, and I'm sure with the squad we have we can do it."Everyone wants to play there. It's regarded as the best league in the world so I definitely want to get back and I definitely feel I can do it with Burnley."I am looking forward to the challenge and I can't wait to get going. I just want to get back to enjoying my football. I got away from that in the last year so I want to be back playing with a smile on my face.""It's a good way to start and I'm delighted we've got Dean," Brian Laws said once the deal had been completed. "Midfield is an area we wanted to strengthen and for a young age he has got a lot of experience."He's tasted promotion with Hull and played for two years in the Premier League so he knows what's required. He is a box-to-box player who is full of energy and his link play with the midfield and forwards is exceptional."His pedigree, coming from Tottenham, shows that he can play and he will be a great addition to the squad."At Hull, commenting on the transfer, Adam Pearson said: "We would like to wish Dean all the very best for his future career at Burnley and we believe this is a good move both for Dean and for Hull City."We're obviously in need of the transfer funds and I'd like to thank Dean for the professional way in which he has conducted himself and for the key role he has played for the club over the last four years."
