Completion of Flemming Move Close
Tuesday, 1st Sep 2026 19:46

TWTD understands Town are closing in on the completion of the signing of Zian Flemming from Burnley.

After protracted negotiations, the clubs have agreed an overall package ultimately worth up to £20 million with £3 million in somewhat aspirational add-ons.

Flemming is currently undergoing his medical with the move expected to be completed before tonight’s 11pm deadline.

TWTD revealed this morning that Flemming was travelling to Suffolk for his medical and to complete the formalities relating to the switch with the clubs tying up the loose ends of the terms of the deal.

Those discussions have continued throughout the day with the deal now finally done and the player currently having his medical.

Flemming is set to become the 14th and final senior signing of the summer.

Aside from Chieo Ogbene's loan move to Lincoln City, which is expected to be confirmed later this evening, the Flemming move is the last movement of the transfer window. Earlier today, Cameron Humphreys and Tudor Mendel completed loan exits to Huddersfield and Luton respectively.

Alex Palmer, Anis Mehmeti and Jack Taylor remain at the club despite links with Championship sides.

Town have 27 senior players with veteran keeper David Button having been retained as a training keeper who may play for the U21s as an overage player and not included in the squad. Youngsters Abdoul Ouattara and Sindre Walle Egeli don't count towards the squad as they are under 21.

Flemming had been tipped for a move away from Turf Moor all summer following Burnley’s relegation to the Championship with Everton, Lille and Brentford having been linked.

The Dutchman joined the Lancastrians from Millwall in August 2024, initially on loan with the move made permanent for £7 million the following summer.

Last season, Amsterdam-born Flemming netted 12 times in total, 11 in the Premier League, and this term bagged three in his first two matches.

He started his career with hometown club Ajax, featuring for their reserves side before moving on to PEC Zwolle in 2018, spending time on loan at NEC before joining Fortuna Sittard in 2020, prior to his switch to Millwall two years later.

Lets get this one over the line and hopefully there is either a CB being kept very secret or they have eyes on a unattached player and will focus on that after the window closes

Good news. But no CB. Not so good.

Come on!!! Surely it can't fall through now...

Whilst another LCB would have been good, we can't have it all... and a striker was the priority today! I'd rather have Kipre/Greaves playing then Akpom...!

Great window- some people will never be happy and always want more. The right CB deal clearly wasn't available or it would have been done. We have enough to get us through to Jan!

WeWereZombies, one hours time " even closer to completion " :) In all seriousness, it can take a bit of time, medical, crossing T's and dotting I's etc.

Maybe we'll add to the defence in January, would have liked Alexsandro here, him and Diop, a bit of pace there.

Out of curiosity, I asked chatgpt can it recommend a left sided cb, that would be within a similar transfer fee that we've spent this summer.... and it suggested Natan from Real Betis... it has said Natan is...

Left-footed
Quick
Aggressive
Good recovery defender
Comfortable playing a higher line
Around €25–30m reportedly

Interesting..

The "missing" CB we need is Dara O'Shea. The issue is RB; GON clearly doesn't rate Furlong as a starter there. For my money, he's never let us down and is solid.

Lukeybluey added 20:42 - Sep 1
Thinking about it a bit more, you're probably right FransFan, Furlong was decent last season, maybe it's right back then...

A Dutch striker. Go on then!

The CB we need is sitting on the bench in kipre

trevski_s added 20:58 - Sep 1
@fransfan we also have Outtara who can play RB and even Matasiwa can play there at a push. We even saw McAteer play the RWB in pre-season and looked good. So might be waiting to see how they play in training more before deciding and pushing O'Shea back to CB. But I agree Furlong has always been a workhorse when he's played

9:30 and still no confirmation yet. But this must surely happen. The tension is unbearable. Why do these deals always seem to go to the very last minute? -:)
