How Burnley's squad is shaping up following busy week on the transfer front
The Clarets will line up back in the Premier League after winning automatic promotion from the Championship last term with an incredible 100 points to their name.
Leeds United will also join them in the top flight after pipping Scott Parker’s men to the title on goal difference, while Sunderland triumphed in the play-offs to become the third newly-promoted team.

Goalkeeper Max Weiss was the first new man through the door, quickly followed by left-back Quilindschy Hartman and versatile defender Axel Tuanzebe.
Those three new additions came after four of last season’s loanees – Bashir Humphreys, Jaidon Anthony, Marcus Edwards and Zian Flemming – all became permanent Burnley men.
Going the other way, meanwhile, has been CJ Egan-Riley, who has joined Marseille on a free transfer after turning down Burnley’s offer of a new deal, and Dara Costelloe to Wigan Athletic.

Jonjo Shelvey and Nathan Redmond also departed the club at the end of their contracts.
The window doesn’t close until Monday, September 1, giving the Clarets plenty of time to finalise their transfer business.
Ignoring any youngsters that might join the first-team for pre-season training, the Clarets currently have 37 players on their books.
One of those 37, however, is club captain Josh Brownhill, whose contract is due to officially run out on Monday.
