Burnley's Mike Tresor has failed to impress since his £15.4m transfer in 2024. The 27-year-old winger's lack of impact raises questions about his future at the club.
What happened to Mike Tresor?
Tresor's loan spell with Burnley in the 2023/24 season showed promise, but he hasn't kicked on since his permanent transfer. He made only six Premier League appearances, all as a substitute, and didn't feature in the league at all in the 2024/25 season.
His only outing in the 2024/25 season was in a win over Reading in the FA Cup in January 2025. This lack of playing time has led to speculation about his future at the club.
Should Burnley sell Mike Tresor?
Football League World's Burnley fan pundit, Aaron Wright, believes the club should cut ties with Tresor if the right offer comes in. Wright said: "If he somehow stays and is interested, reinvigorated and fit, he could be the best player in the league. He's very technical and very creative, but if the right offer comes in, we should just sell him."
Burnley finished the 2025/26 Premier League season in 19th place, with 22 points from 38 games, and a recent form of DLDLL. They conceded 75 goals and scored 38, resulting in a -37 goal difference.
What's next for Burnley?
As Burnley prepares for the 2026/27 Championship campaign, they'll be looking to strengthen their squad and make a push for promotion. The club's pre-season training footage featured Tresor, sparking hopes that he might feature in the upcoming season.
However, with his contract running until the summer of 2028, Burnley may be hesitant to let him go without recouping a significant portion of his transfer fee. The club's first game of the season is against West Ham, which will be a tough test for the team.
Burnley's last result was a 1-1 draw against Wolves on May 24, 2026. The team's recent form has been inconsistent, with 0 wins, 4 draws, and 1 loss in their last 5 games. As the new season approaches, Burnley will be looking to turn their fortunes around and make a push for promotion back to the Premier League
