Burnley forward Jaidon Anthony is set to join Brentford in a £15m deal, with the 26-year-old ready to sign a four-year contract.

What's happening?

The transfer fee for Anthony is expected to rise to £17m with add-ons, and his medical is provisionally scheduled for Monday.

Why it matters for Burnley

Anthony's departure could be a significant loss for Burnley, who are looking to rebuild after relegation, with a recent form of 0W-4D-1L in their last 5 games, and a last result of Burnley 1-1 Wolves on 2026-05-24.

What comes next?

Brentford have already signed defender Jannik Schuster from RB Salzburg in a deal worth up to £16m including add-ons, and the Bees are looking to strengthen their squad after narrowly missing out on European qualification, finishing ninth on goal difference, as Burnley faces West Ham in their first game back in the Championship on 16 August, and currently stands at 19th in Premier League, 22 pts, 4W-10D-24L from 38 games, with 38 goals scored and 75 conceded, leaving them 63 points behind leaders Arsenal
