Burnley are reported to be interested in a shock return for former defender Dara O’Shea. The Republic of Ireland international suffered relegation with Ipswich Town this season after leaving Turf Moor to join Kieran McKenna’s side. It followed a protracted transfer saga which also saw top flight rivals Brentford show a strong interest. It’s been a tough two seasons for the 26-year-old, who also endured the pain of relegation with Burnley under Vincent Kompany during the 2023/24 campaign.

Burnley’s Luca Koleosho will feature at this summer’s Under-21 European Championships after making the final cut for Italy’s squad.

One man who doesn’t get much of the limelight at Burnley is Scott Parker’s trusted right-hand man Jonathan Hill. The Clarets assistant is working with Parker for the fourth time in his coaching career, having also joined him in the dugout at Fulham, Bournemouth and Club Brugge. Hill, who was educated in Lancaster, first got to know Parker during his time working at Tottenham, when the Clarets boss was taking his first steps in the coaching game with Spurs’ academy.
