When Burnley were relegated to the Championship in the 2021/22 campaign, it was fairly obvious who from their relegated side would be snapped up in the summer. The spine of the team went, Nick Pope joined Newcastle whilst defensive rocks Ben Mee and James Tarkowski also got Premier League moves. Star signing Wout Weghorst initially left for Besiktas on loan before moving to Manchester United in January, whilst Maxwel Cornet, Dwight McNeil and Nathan Collins also jumped from what looked like a sinking ship, with rumours of impending financial doom swirling.

Less than a year later and Burnley are coming back to the big time. Vincent Kompany and his recruitment team have made a number of shrewd signings, from a range of leagues, to ensure that the former Manchester City captain could implement his style on the Lancashire side. Bar one or two the recruitment has been spot on, so let’s take a look at seven players who had made a massive impact on this brilliant season for Burnley.
