Burnley duo linked with summer move to Premier League Brentford

Burnley’s Jaidon Anthony is emerging as a serious transfer target for Premier League side Brentford.

That’s according to BBC Sport, who claim the two sides are already in talks over a potential summer move following Burnley’s relegation from the top flight.

Despite Burnley’s struggles, the winger still managed to bag eight goals and two assists in the league under Scott Parker.

One of those goals came during a dramatic 4-3 defeat to the Bees at Turf Moor in February.

It comes after the former Bournemouth man helped the club to automatic promotion from the Championship in his first season at the club, which was initially on loan, scoring eight times.

It’s claimed the Clarets are holding out for £20m for the 26-year-old, while there is also other interest from Premier League sides for his services.

Anthony’s loan move from Bournemouth was made permanent at the end of the 2024/25 season, signing a contract that runs until 2029.

Burnley FC have been contacted for comment.

Anthony isn’t the only Burnley player to be linked with the Bees in recent days, with top goalscorer Zian Flemming also thought to be a player of interest to Keith Andrews’ side.

The Dutchman was the big positive of Burnley’s season, notching 12 goals in all competitions and 11 in the Premier League on what was his debut campaign in the top flight.

Like Anthony, the 27-year-old signed permanently at Turf Moor last summer after an initial season-long loan in the Championship. The striker’s contract also runs until 2029.

Elsewhere on the transfer front, reports in Spain suggest Quilindschy Hartman is closing in on a move to Burnley’s ‘sister’ club Espanyol, who are also owned by Alan Pace.

The left-back recently confirmed his intention to leave Turf Moor this summer following a mixed debut season in England.

He told Dutch outlet De Oranjezomer: “I don’t know that officially yet, but the plan is for me to leave. I just don’t know where I’m going yet.

“I'm not saying I necessarily want to leave England, but I am open to other countries.”

Burnley face Espanyol in a pre-season friendly at Turf Moor on Wednesday, July 29.
