Burnley's Zian Flemming Reacts as Millwall Announce Terms Agreed

Millwall FC has officially announced that terms have been agreed for Zian Flemming's permanent transfer to Burnley, prompting a positive reaction from the Dutch attacker now with the Clarets.[2][4]

The Lions confirmed on May 29, 2025, that Flemming will complete his permanent move to Burnley when the transfer window opens on June 1, 2025. This follows an impressive loan spell where Flemming, 26 (now 27), scored 12 goals in 28 Championship starts, helping Burnley amass 100 points under Scott Parker. Despite their strong campaign, Burnley finished second to Leeds United on goal difference.[1][2]

Flemming joined Burnley on loan last summer with a £7million obligation to buy, activated after their promotion push. He sat out Burnley's crucial 3-1 final-day win over Millwall at Turf Moor, as he couldn't face his parent club. Burnley's retained list also confirms permanent deals for loan players Jaidon Anthony, Marcus Edwards, and Bashir Humphreys.[1]

Originally signed by Millwall from Fortuna Sittard for £1.7million in 2022, Flemming made 92 appearances, scoring 23 goals. The permanent transfer fee is reported around €6.6million. He has now inked a four-year contract until June 2029 at Turf Moor, expressing delight at securing his future there.[3][5][6]

In response to Millwall's announcement—made alongside news of captain Jake Cooper signing a new contract—Flemming reacted positively on social media, thanking the Lions for their support while looking forward to his Burnley chapter. This move strengthens Burnley's squad ahead of Premier League action.[1][4]

Burnley are also in talks to extend contracts for Josh Brownhill, CJ Egan-Riley, and Ashley Barnes, while Nathan Redmond and Jonjo Shelvey depart as free agents.[1]
