Burnley's promotion rivals set to earn another major financial windfall

Burnley’s promotion rivals West Ham are set to bag another major financial windfall ahead of the upcoming Championship campaign.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have already earned £85m earlier this month for midfielder Mateus Fernandes, who made the move across London to Tottenham.

But now, the Hammers are about to bring in another £60m for winger Crysencio Summerville, who is on the verge of agreeing a move to Saudi side Al Hilal.

It comes after fan favourite Jarrod Bowen committed his future to the club despite their relegation from the Premier League last time out.

The bookies have West Ham down as clear favourites for the 2026/27 Championship title, ahead of Wolves and the Clarets.

Burnley have also brought in a healthy windfall this summer with the sales of Maxime Esteve, Jaidon Anthony and Loum Tchaouna, bringing in an estimated £64m.

Quilindschy Hartman and Lesley Ugochukwu have also left on loan, with the latter obligated to join Galatasaray on a permanent deal next summer for £22.5m.

The Clarets could also bring in a surprise £35m in compensation from Everton following the landmark recent court case, although the decision is being appealed.

Burnley brought the legal claim after the Toffees breached Premier League financial rules during the 2021/22 season, in which the Clarets suffered relegation to the Championship.
