According to sources speaking to Football Insider, Burnley is preparing a move for a 24-year-old attacker.

After moving from Fortuna Sittard of the Eredivisie last summer, the 24-year-old was among the best players in the Championship last year.

The offensive midfielder helped Millwall nearly miss the Championship play-offs while scoring 15 league goals and dishing out three assists.

Flemming is greatly admired by Burnley manager Vincent Kompany, who believes that he might help his team advance to the Premier League.

The midfielder spent 10 years in the Ajax academy before making a permanent move to PEC Zwolle in 2018. Prior to that, he spent several years in the Ajax junior system.

After an excellent rookie season with Milwall in which he made 44 appearances in all competitions, Kompany is now hoping to sign Flemming.

After sustaining an injury at the beginning of the season, the midfielder started 40 of those games.

Last season, Milwall came in eighth place in the English second division, two points behind play-off finalists Coventry.

According to Southwark News (13 May), Flemming stated that, given the intense nature of the league, he was proud of how he was able to adapt to life in England.

When the midfielder returned to play around the end of August, he said that everything had gone “really well” after being frustrated by an injury at the beginning of his English Championship voyage.

In other developments, the defender gets ready to go through the Burnley medical once West Brom approve the talks.

Burnley: O’Shea an ideal choice for Kompany

Dara O’Shea was on a par with Taylor Harwood-Bellis last season, making him an ideal option for Burnley boss Vincent Kompany.

Burnley look set to bring in a first new face since earning promotion to the Premier League, as head coach Vincent Kompany attempts to assemble a squad capable of staying in the top flight.

Are Burnley signing Dara O’Shea?

BBC Sport reports that the Clarets are set to sign Dara O’Shea from West Bromwich Albion after the centre-back impressed in the Championship last season.

Albion need to bring in some money this summer due to their Premier League parachute payments coming to an end, and the sale of O’Shea is therefore considered a necessity to balance the books.

The report states that a deal in the region of £7m is due to be concluded with the player undergoing a medical at Turf Moor.

Where would Dara O’Shea fit in at Burnley?

Burnley have already made the loan signing of Jordan Beyer permanent this summer, signing the centre-back from Borussia Monchengladbach for a reported fee of £13m, but defensive partner Taylor Harwood-Bellis is back at parent club Manchester City.

It is perhaps no coincidence that O’Shea has very similar attributes to Harwood-Bellis, the man he is effectively being signed to replace. Indeed, FBref’s player comparison tool ranks Harwood-Bellis ninth on the list of centre-backs most similar to O’Shea in terms of statistical profile, suggesting he would be perfect for Kompany and co.
