Gustavo Hamer has emerged as Burnley’s next target in this summer transfer window.
According to the Telegraph, Burnley are targeting a deal for Coventry City’s Gustavo Hamer.
Burnley are close to securing a deal for James Trafford, and Dara O’Shea and Jordan Beyer have already joined the club.
Borussia Dortmund youngster Soumaila Coulibaly is also on the verge of a switch to Burnley this summer. Vincent Kompany
is now keen to bring Hamer to Turf Moor as he endeavours to build a squad capable of surviving and thriving in the Premier
League.
Hamer came close to reaching the top flight with Coventry City last season, although ultimately his fine strike in the
Championship Play-Off final wasn’t enough to take the club to the promised land of the Premier League as Luton Town
instead emerged victorious.
The 26-year-old may now be about to get his chance to prove his quality at the top level with the Clarets.
Who is Gustavo Hamer?
The Brazil-born forward – who represented the Netherlands at international level for the under-20s side – has been with
Coventry since 2020. He has been a first team regular since his arrival, but took his game to a new level last season as he
became a more potent goal threat from the middle of the park. Hamer racked up 9 goals and 10 assists in the Championship
last season. Coventry boss Mark Robins has heaped praise on Hamer, saying he is “as good as anyone in the league,” as
quoted by Leeds Live.
If Hamer can bring that kind of form to the Premier League then he will be a brilliant addition to Kompany’s side.
