Burnley are now interested in bringing another England international to the club alongside Kyle Walker this summer, according to a new transfer report.

The Clarets knew that some statement signings would be required ahead of their return to the Premier League next month, and they duly delivered, completing the signing of Walker from Manchester City. The 35-year-old has enjoyed a stunning career, winning six league titles at the Etihad and also clinching Champions League glory, and he has spoken of his happiness at sealing a move to Burnley.

"I'm delighted to be here. When I spoke to Scott and heard about his plans for next season, it was an opportunity I jumped at. He's done an amazing job here, guiding the Club back to the Premier League with a 100-point haul, and now we're looking forward, together, at being back in the greatest league in the world.

"Burnley had a tremendous campaign last season, built on an incredible defensive record, and I can't wait to come in and add my experience and quality to what looks an exciting squad."

Burnley supporters will be hoping to see some more stellar names arrive at Turf Moor before the end of the summer transfer window, and it looks as though they are pushing to sign a player that Walker knows well.

Burnley now keen on signing another England man

According to a fresh claim from Haber Turk [via Sport Witness], Burnley are in the race to sign Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain from Besiktas this summer.

The 31-year-old wants to terminate his current deal in Turkey, instead preferring to seal a return to the Premier League, with Leicester City also keen on snapping him up. He has one year remaining on his contract.

Oxlade-Chamberlain isn't quite the force he was during his younger years, with a serious ACL injury at Liverpool in 2018 cutting him down in his prime, but he could still be an excellent signing for Burnley ahead of the 2025/26 season.

The former Reds man is a hugely experienced figure for club and country, winning the Premier League title back in 2019/20 and scoring seven goals in 35 caps for England, with Jurgen Klopp showing his appreciation for him during their time together at Anfield.

“When I heard Ox had signed his new contract with us, I am sure my emotions were the same as every Liverpool fan hearing the news tonight – absolutely delighted. This is because an absolutely outstanding player and person has shown his belief and commitment to our project here and it’s a deal I think makes sense on both sides."

Oxlade-Chamberlain can bring a goal threat from attacking midfield areas - he can also do a job out wide - and the fact that he is hungry for a return to England means Burnley would be signing a player with a point to prove. It feels like a no-brainer for Scott Parker if he can make it happen.
