Burnley have signed Largie Ramazani on loan until the end of the season, with an obligation to make the move permanent in the summer. The 25-year-old Belgian arrives after a year that included a Championship title with Leeds and a loan spell in La Liga with Valencia. Burnley have taken just one point from their opening three Championship games, and they now have a forward who has already shown he can score in England.
Ramazani's record in England
The main reason this move has gone down as a neat bit of business is simple enough. Ramazani joined Leeds from Almeria in August 2024 and scored six goals in 29 league appearances as they won the Championship title. That is the sort of output Burnley will hope to tap into as they try to get more bite in the final third.
Ramazani said his spell in England has given him something Burnley can use straight away. Speaking to BBC Sport, he said: "I have experience from playing in this league and creating that winning environment, so I'm hoping I can bring something to the team on and off the pitch,"
Burnley's need for end product
Burnley did not wait around for the market to settle. One point from three league games is a poor start by any standard, and the club have gone for a player who knows the division and has already delivered in it.
The obligation to buy in the summer also tells you this is more than a short-term patch. Burnley are betting that Ramazani's mix of Championship experience, a title-winning spell and recent La Liga football can help them now and still fit the plan later.
The immediate task is Wednesday's home game against Middlesbrough. If Ramazani gets involved quickly, Burnley have a better chance of turning that one-point start into something more respectable.
