Burnley are on the verge of sealing a €14m deal for Lazio winger Loum Tchaouna, as the Clarets accelerate their 2025 summer recruitment push.
The 21-year-old French youth international looks set to join Vincent Kompany’s former side after a frustrating year in Italy. Tchaouna, who joined Lazio from Salernitana last summer, managed just two goals and one assist in 37 appearances — only 15 of which were starts. Despite his versatility and flashes of promise, he failed to cement a regular spot at the Stadio Olimpico.
After previously being linked with Taty Castellanos, Burnley have now turned their focus to Tchaouna, with Sky Sports Switzerland reporting advanced negotiations nearing completion.
Burnley Target Lazio Winger After Serie A Struggles
Burnley’s pursuit of Loum Tchaouna has intensified as they seek to add attacking flair and depth following a transitional campaign. The 21-year-old’s time at Lazio was far from smooth, but the Clarets believe he still has Premier League potential to unlock.
Burnley are closing in on a €14m deal for Loum Tchaouna, with the Lazio winger ready for Premier League football after a tough season in Serie A.
The Clarets are hopeful a change of scenery and a system that suits his high-energy style will reignite the form that once saw him shine at Salernitana and Rennes. Burnley’s approach has been subtle but strategic, giving them the edge over PSV in recent days.
Why Burnley Want Tchaouna
Burnley see the Frenchman as a dynamic, Premier League-ready option to inject pace and unpredictability into their attack. While his stint in Serie A may not have set records, the underlying numbers — work rate, pressing intensity, and adaptability — have reportedly impressed the Burnley recruitment team.
Tchaouna’s Lazio Exit Looks Inevitable
Lazio are prepared to cut their losses after paying €8.45m for Tchaouna just a year ago. With no firm place in Igor Tudor’s plans, the Biancocelesti have welcomed Burnley’s interest and are now considering whether to accept an outright purchase or a loan with obligation to buy.
