"Lukas is a young lad, he has been on loan at Carlisle and looking to make the next step.

"He commands his area well and I think he could play for Burnley's first team one day."

Jensen added: "When I got the opportunity to come to Accrington, it was a no-brainer for me.

"I spoke to the gaffer and my goalie coach at Burnley and know it’s the right move for me."
