Burnley have completed the transfer deadline day signing of winger Largie Ramazani from Leeds United. The 25-year-old arrives at Turf Moor on an initial season-long loan with an obligation to make the move permanent at the end of the campaign.
Ramazani's addition comes with Burnley sitting 22nd in the Championship table, having taken just one point from their opening three games. The club has scored four goals but conceded nine, leaving them with a negative five goal difference and eight points adrift of leaders Charlton Athletic.
Largie Ramazani is a Belgian-born winger with extensive experience in English football. He moved to England at age 12 and spent time in Charlton Athletic's academy before making his senior debut for Manchester United in a Europa League match against FC Astana in November 2019. After his contract at Old Trafford ended, he played for Valencia in La Liga, scoring five goals in 23 appearances, before a successful four-year spell at Almería where he netted 21 times in 127 games.
His most recent chapter was at Leeds United, where he signed a four-year deal. Ramazani was part of the Leeds side that won the Championship title in the 2024/25 season, contributing seven goals in 31 games to secure promotion to the Premier League.
Burnley's need for attacking reinforcement is clear from their early-season struggles. Ramazani brings proven Championship quality and a winning mentality from his time at Leeds. He is ready to help Burnley get back to the Premier League, a mission that starts with climbing the standings from their current lowly position.
"It feels amazing," Ramazani said upon signing. He also noted his familiarity with the club, adding, "I'm well aware of Burnley as a club from the competition we had a couple of years ago and it's a great club." His versatility and goal threat from wide areas are seen as assets for a squad looking to increase its output.
Ramazani joins a Burnley attack that will be immediately tested. His first opportunity to feature could come quickly, with the Clarets' next fixture at home to Middlesbrough on Wednesday, September 2nd. Middlesbrough currently sit 5th in the table, presenting a tough challenge. Fans can track the team's schedule on the club's fixtures page.
The loan-with-obligation structure of the deal provides short-term cover with long-term planning, securing the player's services for the future. It represents a significant piece of business on a busy deadline day for the club. Manager and staff will be hoping his experience can help solidify the team's performances as they look ahead to a packed fixtures list.
Burnley's league form reads as three losses, one draw, and zero wins from their opening matches. The 4-9 goal difference highlights defensive issues that need addressing alongside the search for more goals. The gap to the top of the table is already significant, making every point from here critical.
Ramazani's task is to integrate swiftly and make an impact. His journey from Manchester United debutant to Championship winner with Leeds demonstrates a career built on adapting to new challenges. Burnley will need him to do so again, starting with the match against Middlesbrough at Turf Moor this week.
