Burnley's exodus of their key players has continued with Maxime Esteve reacting emotionally after yet another exit was confirmed.

Josh Brownhill has confirmed his departure from Burnley after five and a half years with the club. The 29-year-old's future at Turf Moor had been in doubt but boss Scott Parker had previously said in April he was "hopeful" a new deal could be agreed with the out-of-contract midfielder.

One of Burnley's standout players from last season is leaving ahead of the club's return to the English top flight.

Burnley are currently favourites to sign reported Sunderland transfer target Sam Johnstone, according to the Black Cats’ former chief scout.

Alan: Brownhill had many great days and a few bad ones playing for Burnley but his commitment was always 100%. He improved year on year, becoming a fantastic player for the club and every Burnley supporter should thank him.

Burnley have enjoyed a busy start to their summer transfer business, but there’s still a lot more to come – both in and out.
