Arijanet Muric has signed for Ipswich Town from Burnley, becoming the club's fifth addition of the summer.
The Kosovan goalkeeper, 25, has agreed a four-year contract.
Muric returns to the Premier League after being relegated with Burnley last season. He played 10 matches, making 64 saves without keeping a clean sheet.

“I watched how the team played last season and feel the style will suit me very well, so this is the perfect move for me,” Muric told the club's official website.
“I have had good conversations with the manager and Rene (Gilmartin, head of goalkeeping) and believe this is the right place for me to be as the club moves into the Premier League.”
Who is Muric?
The 25-year-old was born in Schlieren, Switzerland, but has represented Kosovo 38 times at international level.
After starting his professional career with Manchester City, Muric went on loan to NAC Breda, Nottingham Forest, Girona, Willem II and Adana Demirspor before joining Burnley in 2022.
Muric's first season at Turf Moor was impressive. He recorded 19 clean sheets in 41 appearances in the Championship as Burnley won the title and gained promotion to the Premier League. In total he played 55 times for the Clarets.
Ipswich say Muric will fly to Austria to join the club in a pre-season training camp.
They play their first pre-season match ahead of 2024/25 on 20 July against Shakhtar Donetsk.
Their opening match of their first Premier League season since 2001/02 is at home to Liverpool on 17 August.
