Burnley defender on a permanent, having a medical now. 20 years old, 6ft 1.
It doesn't matter as long as he can use his standing foot better than CJ.Age 20. 1.85m tall. Don't know if he's a left or righter.
That'll do for me. Classic Critchly signingCentre back Sassi put pen to paper on a first professional contract with the Clarets in September 2022, signing a deal which runs until June 2025.
First joining from Stoke City in July 2020, the defender initially started out at Burnley as a scholar.
At the end of his two-year apprenticeship in the summer of 2022, the Uttoxeter-born defender extended his deal for another year before penning his professional contract.
Captaining the youth team for the first half of the 2021/22 campaign, the towering defender tallied 15 appearances in the U18 Northern Premier League and netted twice before progressing up into the U23s setup.
He would play every minute of the last eight Premier League 2 matches of the season and scored his first goal at that level with a winning header at home to Aston Villa in April 2022.
2022/23 saw what was known as U23s football revert back to U21s, and Sassi spent the season as the captain of Burnley's U21s as well as training frequently alongside Vincent Kompany's senior squad.
Casey signed in June 21, but similar kind of thing yes.Very similar to the signing of Olly Casey last season. Little to no first team experience, but excelled at youth level.
Wouldn't be surprised to see him loaned out straight away
I don't care about which foot can he play in the middle of a 3?Age 20. 1.85m tall. Don't know if he's a left or righter.
Dunno, but I'd like to see an authoritative left sided CB.I don't care about which foot can he play in the middle of a 3?
Don’t worry about that, Norburn will put him in his place.Bit of an attitude problem by all accounts...
Not sure about his toeDon’t worry about that, Norburn will put him in his place.
Seriously though, Critch has vast amounts of experience to deal with up and coming youngsters like that so I’m sure (if he passes his medical) he will soon toe the line.
Have you seen him play?Tharme replacement.
Yes actually, I’m a Burnley u21’s season ticket holder, he will be class for us.Have you seen him play?
