Burnley confirm permanent deal for Millwall attacker.

Burnley have confirmed the permanent signing of Millwall’s Zian Flemming as they reveal their retained list following promotion to the Premier League.

Flemming, 26, joined the Clarets on loan last summer with a buyout clause worth £7 million.

Flemming, a Dutch attacker, scored 12 goals in 28 Championship starts as Scott Parker’s side finished with 100 points but were pipped to the title by Leeds United on goal difference.

Burnley defeated Millwall 3-1 at Turf Moor on the final day of the season, denying Alex Neil’s Lions a place in the play-offs. Flemming was not involved because he was unable to play against his parent club.

Burnley have confirmed that Flemming and three other loan players from 2024-25, Jaidon Anthony, Marcus Edwards, and Bashir Humphreys, will join the club permanently this summer.

They are in talks with Josh Brownhill, CJ Egan-Riley, and Ashley Barnes, who will be out of contract at the end of next month.

Nathan Redmond and Jonjo Shelvey will leave after their contracts expire on June 30.

Flemming joined Millwall for £1.7 million from Fortuna Sittard in the summer of 2022. He made 92 Lions appearances across all competitions, scoring 23 goals.
