Burnley are interested in bringing starlet to Turf Moor this summer.
According to football journalist Alan Nixon, writing on his Patreon page, Manchester City youngster Cole Palmer is attracting attention
from Burnley and Leicester City.
Whilst new Leicester boss Enzo Maresca is trying to rebuild a side that can fire the Foxes straight back into the Premier League, newly-
promoted Burnley are focusing on survival. That being said, Vincent Kompany has implemented a free-flowing, attacking style of football
with the Clarets that he won’t abandon in favour of gritty, defensive showings in the top flight.
Burnley have already strengthened this summer, with Dara O’Shea arriving from West Brom to add solidity in defence, and Irish forward
Michael Obafemi having had his loan switch from Swansea City made permanent. Palmer would be another smart addition as the Belgian
coach seeks to get his side ready for the challenges of the new campaign.
Why Burnley should sign Cole Palmer
Palmer has already been suggested as a potential target for Burnley, and now that looks to have become a reality. There are many reasons
such a move would make sense for Burnley. First of all, there is the 21-year-old’s abundant talent. The attacking midfielder made a
positive impression for Manchester City last season during his limited opportunities and has been dubbed a player with “special quality”
by Pep Guardiola, as quoted by the Manchester Evening News.
Kompany’s connections with Manchester City, where he remains a legend from his playing days, could benefit Burnley when it comes to
beating Leicester to Palmer’s signature. The Clarets need to take advantage of that now to get a deal done for the England under-21
international.

BURNLEY IN HUNT FOR £15M RELEGATED STRIKER
Burnley are considering a move for Che Adams, who is attracting interest from elsewhere in the Premier League.
According to The Sun, Che Adams is set to leave Southampton this summer for a fee of up to £15 million, with Everton, Nottingham
Forest, and Burnley all considering making a move to sign the striker in this transfer window.
Adams was one of the few bright lights for Southampton last season. The 26-year-old managed to bag 10 goals for the Saints in all
competitions as the club succumbed to relegation. He now look’s likely to leave St Mary’s Stadium, rather than stick around in the
Championship and try to fire the club straight back into the top flight.
Adams certainly has the quality to remain in the Premier League, and could flourish as the focal point of a more cohesive side.
Should Burnley sign Che Adams?
Considering he seems to be available for the relatively cheap (by the standards of the modern transfer market) fee of £15 million, and is a
player in his prime years who brings with him plenty of Premier League experience, Adams makes sense as a target for Burnley.
Vincent Kompany’s side play attractive, progressive football, and Adams could thrive off of the chances they generate. With Wout
Weghort’s future in question, a new striker or two will also be a priority for the Clarets this summer. The addition of Adams would make
Burnley more potent up front, and the 23-cap Scotland international should take his game to new levels at Turf Moor.
