Report: Vincent Kompany is now really ‘pushing’ to sign ‘special’ 21 y/o Man City gem on loan

It has been reported that Burnley boss Vincent Kompany is extremely keen on signing Manchester City youngster Cole Palmer on a season-long loan.

This comes from journalist Alan Nixon on Patreon, as the 21-year-old’s future is seemingly up in the air in the summer transfer window.

However, it seems like Vincent Kompany would fancy the arrival of Cole Palmer on loan at Burnley ahead of the following campaign.

Burnley boss Vincent Kompany is ‘pushing’ for Cole Palmer loan deal from Manchester City

Branded as a player with ‘special quality’ by Pep Guardiola, the Englishman seems like the most natural replacement for Riyad Mahrez, who recently left the Sky Blues to sign for Al-Ahli.

However, with Palmer having been on the periphery of things at his boyhood club last season, there is a sense that a loan move may be on the cards for him to accelerate his development over the next term.

Now, it has been revealed that Burnley manager Vincent Kompany is ‘pushing strongly’ to secure a loan deal for Cole Palmer.

The Belgian tactician is interested in offering the silky technician regular first-team football in the Premier League.

To add to that, while Leicester City are also keen on Palmer’s signature, the Clarets are believed to be offering the ‘best platform’ for him to develop if his temporary exit is approved.

Manchester City should keep Cole Palmer next season

Even if Bernardo Silva ends up staying at Manchester City, it would be silly to loan Cole Palmer out to Burnley or any other club, as he profiles extremely similarly to Riyad Mahrez.

Sure, the youngster is still quite a raw prospect but simultaneously, he is the only natural right-winger in City’s first-team and has barely been given a chance to shine on his preferred flank.

Unless the club have a potential signing in store to bolster the position, it would not make much sense to offload such a talented option in the upcoming campaign, albeit on loan.

Burnley has officially announce the signing of classic player. he will start training on…..

Burnley reach agreement for signing – Clarets taking versatile youngster

Burnley have reached an agreement to sign Troyes attacker Wilson Odobert, according to reports from France.

Website Foot Mercato writes that the Ligue 2 side have just accepted the Clarets’ offer for the player.

It’s claimed that Burnley offered €11m for the transfer, and that was enough for Troyes to let him go.

The French club had signed the player from Paris Saint Germain on a free move a year ago. So even though they’re making a big profit with his sale, they still had him tied in a contract until 2027.

Odobert is just 18, but already has some decent experience in professional football. Troyes had been playing in the first division last season, and he had 32 appearances, with four goals and two assists. That was his first season in action among the big boys, as PSG didn’t give him the chance of a debut.

The youngster has been playing as an attacking midfielder and on both wings, so that’s certainly a versatile option that Vincent Kompany will be glad to have in the squad next season.

Troyes’ relegation to Ligue 2 definitely helped Burnley get a cheaper deal.

Burnley agree another deal after rejected Sunderland bids for Jack Clarke

Burnley agree another transfer deal after rejected bids for Sunderland’s Jack Clarke

Premier League club Burnley saw another transfer bid rejected for Sunderland winger Jack Clarke this week.

Burnley have completed the signing of another wide player after seeing multiple bids rejected for Sunderland’s Jack Clarke.

Danish wideman Jacob Bruun Larsen has joined The Clarets on a season-long loan deal from German club Hoffenheim, where he has spent the last four years – which included a loan spell at Anderlecht.

Since their promotion to the Premier League Burnley have signed former Southampton winger Nathan Redmond on a free transfer, while spending a seven-figure fee to Espanyol for 18-year-old wideman Luca Koleosho.

The Clarets have also made attempts to re-sign Nathan Tella from Southampton, following his impressive loan spell at Turf Moor last season.

Burnley’s pursuit of Clarke has been well documented this summer, with it emerging this week the Premier League club have seen a fourth bid, in excess of £10 million, rejected for the 22-year-old.

The latest offer is still well below Sunderland’s valuation for a player who scored nine Championship goals and provided 13 assists last season.

Clarke also has three years left on his Sunderland contract after joining the club on a permanent transfer from Tottenham last summer, while it’s believed Spurs negotiated a significant sell-on clause in the deal.

When asked about Clarke’s situation and Burnley’s latest offer earlier this week, Sunderland boss Tony Mowbray said: “If I’m sitting here being honest, I don’t think it’s been anywhere near a level.

“Every player has their price and so it would be silly for me to sit here and say any player is not for sale, because everyone is at the right price.

“But I’d have to say that it feels to me as if Burnley have been moving away and are looking at other options, choices. As far as I can see they were testing the water and as far as I’m concerned, the right decision has been made.

You can see right through pre-season that Jack Clarke is ultra confident at the moment, right at the top of his game. Hopefully he has more goals and assists in his boots for Sunderland this season.”

Sunderland are preparing to face La Liga side Real Mallorca this weekend in their penultimate friendly match of pre-season.

The Black Cats will then face National League side Hartlepool on Tuesday, providing opportunities for players who are short of game time.
