How Burnley’s squad is shaping up on the eve of the 2026/27 season
How Burnley’s squad is currently shaping up
While the new season gets underway this weekend, it’s fair to say Burnley still have plenty of work to do in the transfer market.
Nicky Hayen takes charge of his first competitive game on Saturday as the Clarets face League One newcomers Notts County in the first round of the Carabao Cup.
A week later, West Ham travel north to Turf Moor for their opening game of the new Championship season.
But while the new season is upon us, work behind the scenes will be ongoing to get the squad in tip-top shape ahead of the September 1 transfer deadline.
It’s been an unusual window so far, dominated by outgoings with Florentino Luis becoming the latest player to depart to sign permanently for Ipswich Town.
The midfielder joins Maxime Esteve, Quilindschy Hartman, Lesley Ugochukwu, Jaidon Anthony, Luca Koleosho and Loum Tchaouna in moving on this summer.
Martin Dubravka and Vaclav Hladky also left the club at the end of their contracts at the end of last season, while Axel Tuanzebe remains a free agent.

On the incoming front, Ben Amos has become the latest addition, offering some much-needed reinforcement to Burnley’s wafer-thin goalkeeper department by penning a one-year contract.
He joins Lluc Castell, a 19-year-old winger from Espanyol, and Lille midfielder Ugo Raghouber in making the move to Turf Moor so far this summer.
Further movement - both in and out - is anticipated by the end of the month, with Hayen confirming the club are working tirelessly to get additions across the line.
Burnley currently have 29 players on their books, although that figure includes the likes of Jordan Beyer, Josh Cullen and Jaydon Banel who are all sidelined through injury.
It also includes a handful of other players on the fringe of the squad who have either not featured in pre-season or look likely to depart - such as Armando Broja, Andreas Hountondji and Michael Obafemi.
