Brentford have made an approach to sign Burnley striker Zian Flemming, according to sources. The 27-year-old striker has been subject to widespread interest since Burnley's relegation to the Championship.

What happened?

Brentford are looking to strengthen their attack ahead of the 2026-27 season, and Flemming's 11 Premier League goals last season make him a top target.

Why it matters for Brentford

The Bees were heavily reliant on Igor Thiago up top in the last campaign, with the striker the only player to net over eight Premier League goals.

What comes next?

Brentford will be hoping to win the race for Flemming's signature, but they face competition from other clubs, including Leeds United. The Bees are also eyeing a move for Paris FC attacker Ilan Kebbal, who netted nine times and picked up four assists in Ligue 1 last season. As of 26 Jun 2026, Brentford are 32 points behind leaders Arsenal, and their last result was a 1-1 draw against Liverpool on 2026-05-24.
