Burnley have completed the signing of Diego Penny after securing a work permit for the Peru goalkeeper.
The 24-year-old has joined the Clarets for an undisclosed fee from Peruvian Primera Division side Coronel Bolognesi on a three-year contract.
Lima-born Penny is currently his country's number one goalkeeper.
"We are absolutely delighted with the outcome," manager Owen Coyle told the club's official website.
"The chairman and I attended the hearing and the panel were very receptive to what we had to say.
"I think they saw that Diego Penny could have a big future at Burnley Football Club and we thank them for their decision."
