Bashir Humphreys, a 21-year-old defender from Chelsea, is set to join Burnley on a loan deal with an obligation to buy next summer. His move comes after a successful loan spell at Swansea City last season, where he made 26 appearances. Reports indicate that Burnley has beaten Leeds United in securing Humphreys, who is expected to undergo a medical examination soon. The agreement between the clubs includes a five-year contract for Humphreys, regardless of his playing time during the season. This transfer strategy reflects Chelsea's ongoing efforts to offload academy players for profit, with Burnley looking to strengthen their defense. Leeds had expressed interest earlier but ultimately missed out on signing the talented young defender.
