Key Transfers
Scott Twine / £4m / MK Dons
Young forward who can also play as an attacking midfielder, scored 20 goals and registered 13 assists in a possession-heavy MK Dons side, will be interesting to see if he can translate that into a different system but if he does this could be a very shrewd deal. 3/5
Luke McNally / £1.8m / Oxford United
McNally was plucked out of Irish football by Oxford and soon established himself as an accomplished central defender for the League One side. This will be another step up for a relatively inexperienced player 3/5
CJ Egan-Riley / Free / Manchester City
Vincent Kompany has put his connections at Man City to good use to land the promising centre-half. The 19-year-old has earned rave reviews at City at youth level but has a lot to learn as a senior pro. 3/5
Taylor Harwood-Bellis / Loan / Manchester City
Vincent Kompany reunites with the 22-year-old centre-back after managing him at Anderlecht with Burnley beating off plenty of competition for a player who is likely to go straight into the heart of the Clarets defence.4/5
Samuel Bastien / £800,000 / Standard Liege
Bastien has received Premier League interest in the past so Burnley feel they've pulled off a coup to land the defensive midfielder, who did a good job screening the Standard Liege backline in Belgium. 3/5
Josh Cullen / Undisclosed / Anderlecht
A combative midfielder who worked with Vincent Kompany at Anderlecht. Came through the West Ham academy and has already played 20 times for Ireland, a solid buy. 4/5
Ian Maatsen / Loan / Chelsea
The Dutch defender enjoyed an excellent season on loan at Coventry, providing a good attacking outlet as a left wing-back and finished the campaign with three goals and one assist. Should continue to improve with more game time. 4/5
Arijanet Muric / Undisclosed / Manchester City
Vincent Kompany has once again capitalised on his contacts at Manchester City to land goalkeeper Arijanet Muric, who joined the Citizens back in 2015. The Kosovo shot-stopper has since been on various loan spells but should add experience to Burnley's goalkeeping ranks. 2/5
Vitinho / Undisclosed / Cercle Brugge
The first Brazilian to play for Burnley, a player Vincent Kompany will know from his time in Belgium. Young and could progress quickly although he is quite small for a defender. 3/5
Manuel Benson / Undisclosed / Royal Antwerp
Another player follows Vincent Kompany to Burnley from Belgium, a direct and pacy winger who has 24 goals in 197 career games. 3/5

Insights
Burnley shared the points eight times on their Premier League travels last season. Only Brighton recorded as many away draws.
Three of Burnley’s last six seasons in the Championship have ended with them being promoted.
Burnley had a 39.1% share of possession last season which was the joint-lowest in the Premier League alongside Everton but are expected to change their style under Vincent Kompany.
New signing Scott Twine had 33 goal contributions for MK Dons last season.
Season Verdict
Sean Dyche was a safe pair of hands but Burnley have taken a riskier route by giving Vincent Kompany the responsibility of leading them back to the Premier League. Kompany was an outstanding player, but had a mixed two-year spell as Anderlecht manager and will need time to get to grips with second-tier management. He inherits a decent squad but funds are tight and automatic promotion looks unlikely.
