Burnley’s Jacob Bruun Larsen is a wanted man, with Premier League rivals West Ham United and Everton reportedly setting their sights on the Danish winger for the upcoming summer transfer window, according to Bold.dk.
The 25-year-old spent the season on loan at Burnley from Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga. While Burnley’s relegation to the Championship confirmed a disappointing campaign, Bruun Larsen emerged as a bright spot, contributing 6 goals in 31 league appearances. Although primarily used as a substitute by manager Vincent Kompany, his performances haven’t gone unnoticed.
West Ham and Everton have reportedly identified Bruun Larsen as a “concrete target” and are expected to intensify their interest in the coming weeks. While no official offers have been made yet, Bruun Larsen’s displays have clearly impressed scouts at both clubs.
Burnley, despite their relegation, are keen to retain Bruun Larsen, adding another layer of complexity to potential transfer negotiations. Furthermore, Bruun Larsen’s contract with Hoffenheim runs until 2025, meaning West Ham and Everton would need to negotiate with the German club to secure his signature.
With his loan spell at Turf Moor concluded, Bruun Larsen is set to return to Hoffenheim. However, the interest from West Ham and Everton presents a tempting opportunity for a return to the Premier League.
However, we do have a bit of previous with wingers from Burnley – Maxwel Cornet anyone?
