On his part, Kompany said: “Burnley and Turf Moor felt right pretty much from the start – so it also feels right to sign for the next five years.
“Together with the fans we have made Turf Moor a fortress again and continue to look forward to the future and the job of making Burnley better with every step.”
Kompany led the Clarets to a title winning campaign in the Championship, earning automatic promotion back to the Premier League and was at one time linked with the vacant managerial position at Chelsea.
Apart from Chelsea, there has been plenty of speculation that the former Manchester City star could move to a club up the pecking order in the Premier League.
