Alleyne expressed his excitement about joining Burnley, stating, “I first heard of the interest a couple of months ago now and I’m so glad it got done. It’s a huge team, a Premier League team to be honest and I’m so buzzing to be here,” on the club’s official website.
The Clarets will kick off their new Championship campaign at home against fellow relegated side West Ham this Sunday. Alleyne becomes Burnley’s fourth signing of the summer, bolstering their squad as they prepare for the upcoming season.
