Burnley are struggling to tie Josh Brownhill down to a new contract as Fulham, West Ham United and Brighton consider taking the midfielder back to the Premier
With five goals from just 16 appearances this season, Burnley’s number eight needs just three more to make 2024/25 the most prolific season of his entire career.
Whether he sees out the remainder of the current campaign at Turf Moor, however, only time will tell.
With Josh Brownhill in such fine form, and with his contract expiring during the summer of 2025, Burnley face a battle hanging onto their most influential performer as the January transfer window looms into view.
TBR can report that Fulham, West Ham United and Brighton and Hove Albion are all in contention.
And Burnley, fully aware of interest not only from the Premier League but also abroad, are finding that agreeing fresh terms with the Warrington-born 28-year-old is easier said than done.
Brownhill, who captains Burnley these days, will be free to sign a pre-contract agreement in January. The Clarets may also have to decide whether to cash in on their skipper midway through the campaign, or risk losing him for free the following summer.
In addition to Fulham, West Ham United and Brighton, TBR have been informed that clubs in Italy, Turkey and Saudi Arabia are also circling. Brownhill is giving serious consideration to a fresh start outside of the UK.
Serie A trio Torino, Fiorentina and Lazio are ready to put a contract on the table. And with Fiorentina and Lazio challenging at the top of the Italian league, there is a genuine chance that Brownhill could swap the Championship for the Champions League in 2025.
