summer, scoring twice in four games.

Vincent Kompany’s men are preparing for life back in the Premier League after clinching the Championship title last term.
The Clarets have already completed permanent deals for Jordan Beyer and Michael Obafemi, as well as signing Dara O’Shea
and Lawrence Vigouroux from West Brom and Leyton Orient respectively.
They are aiming to bolster their attacking options following the departure of long-serving Ashley Barnes, who joined
Norwich on a two-year deal earlier this summer.
Dutch international Wout Weghorst has also returned to pre-season training following a loan spell at Manchester United.
Former Southampton winger Nathan Redmond is another player who has been linked with a move to Turf Moor this
summer.
29-year-old Redmond is currently a free agent after his deal at Turkish club Besiktas expired.
The wideman has plenty of Premier League experience, having made 232 appearances during a six-year spell with the
Saints.
He managed five goals and five assists in 26 games in Turkey last term, enjoying a strong finish to the campaign.
Meanwhile, Burnley have announced they will face Portuguese club Lisbon in a pre-season friendly on Tuesday, July 25.
Kompany’s side also have matches against Genk and Real Betis coming up in preparation for the new Premier League
season, which kicks-off against treble winners Manchester City on Friday, August 11.
