Burnley complete signing of defender Anel Ahmedhodzic from Feyenoord
Anel Ahmedhodzic has returned to English football, joining Championship side Burnley from Feyenoord in a €7 million permanent deal.
Championship side Burnley have officially completed the signing of central defender Anel Ahmedhodzic. The defender joins from Dutch Eredivisie club Feyenoord in a deal worth approximately €7 million.
This move is a significant step for the Clarets as they look to bolster their defensive options ahead of the new campaign. The club moved quickly behind the scenes to secure his signature and address defensive concerns, marking a major investment for the squad.
Ahmedhodzic is no stranger to English football, having previously featured in the Premier League for Sheffield United during the 2023–24 season. His familiarity with the physical demands of the British game is expected to help him settle quickly at Turf Moor.
The arrival of the defender follows Burnley's relegation from the top flight after finishing 19th in the 2025–26 Premier League season. Bringing in a player with proven experience is seen as a vital component of the club's ongoing squad adjustments.
