The football community is abuzz with Burnley’s impending transfer moves, particularly in relation to Basel forward
Zeki Amdouni and free agent Nathan Redmond.
Amdouni, aged 22, carved out an impressive profile for himself during his loan spell at Basel. He accumulated an
enviable tally of 22 goals and five assists across 52 appearances before Basel decided to make his loan move
permanent. Burnley, keen to enhance their forward options, are on track to negotiate a successful deal for Amdouni,
adding an energetic young forward to the squad and bolstering their attack.
Notably, Amdouni brings an international flavour, having scored five goals in just five games for the Switzerland
national team, including a stunning hat-trick in matches against Andorra and Romania last month.
Burnley’s Forward Squad Bolstered with Michael Obafemi
Burnley’s ambition to fortify their attack was further demonstrated when they converted Michael Obafemi’s loan
move from Swansea City into a permanent deal. Although, a setback arose when Obafemi needed to undergo
hamstring surgery, resulting in his absence for the start of the season.
Nathan Redmond: A Free Agent Catch for Burnley
Redmond, the seasoned 29-year-old winger, is also on Burnley’s radar. After his contract with Besiktas came to an
end, Burnley are well on their way to securing Redmond’s skills. Redmond, who boasts a record of six goals and six
assists from 28 appearances for Besiktas, is no stranger to the English league, having had successful spells at
Southampton, Norwich City, and Birmingham City.
While the Clarets are all set to announce the signing of under-21 European Champion James Trafford post his
vacation, a move for Borussia Dortmund centre-back Soumaila Coulibaly has been canned. Following the discovery
of a minor medical issue and a £15 million mandatory buy option, Burnley has chosen to call off the deal.
As the new season nears, Burnley aim to seal the deals for Amdouni and Redmond prior to their pre-season trip to
Belgium for a match against Genk.
