Burnley are lining up a move for Millwall midfielder Zian Flemming after impressive debut season

Burnley are interested in bringing Millwall attacking midfielder Zian Flemming to the club as Vincent Kompany’s side prepare for their first season back in the Premier League.
Flemming only arrived in England last year but has impressed Burnley’s minds with his creativity around the box and eye for goal.
The 24-year-old joined from Dutch Eredevisie team Fortuna Sittard and scored 15 goals last season as Millwall finished one point adrift of the Championship play-off places.
Impressive displays in the second tier of English football have piqued Burnley’s interest and the club are now keen to pursue a deal for Flemming.
Millwall’s £1.7million signing was a club record transfer and they would likely charge a greatly increased fee from Burnley for his signature.

Clarets boss Kompany is keen to strengthen his title-winning side for the challenges of the Premier League, with Jordan Beyer signing a four-year deal after his loan spell.
Meanwhile, Flemming would add talented midfield reliability to Burnley, with the playmaker missing just three games for Millwall at the start of last season before appearing in every other Championship game.
Millwall have already started identifying replacements and are interested in bringing QPR striker Lyndon Dykes to the Den.
Dykes recently scored in Scotland’s comeback victory over Norway in Oslo, netting eight Championship goals last season. The 27-year-old moved south of the border from Livingston, Scotland in 2020 and still has a year credit at QPR.
