#PLStories- Burnley goalkeeper #LukasJensen signs new deal and joins Carlisle on loan #BURNLEYFC

July 21, 2021
Burnley goalkeeper Lukas Jensen has joined Carlisle United on a season-long loan after signing a new two-year deal with the Clarets. The 22-year-old – who stands at 6ft 6ins – heads to Brunton Park in search of regular playing time in League Two. “He joins us on loan from Burnley where he’s held in high regard,” said Carlisle boss Chris Beech. “They see him as having a real chance in the game and there were other clubs who were also looking to take him, but both Burnley and Lukas consider us as the right destination for him.” Jensen – who joined the Clarets in 2019 - has featured regularly for the Under-23 side and been named on the bench at first-team level. The towering goalkeeper spent time on loan at Bolton Wanderers last season as the Whites clinched promotion to League One, before heading overseas with Kordrengir this summer. “Credit to him. He sacrificed most of his summer to go and play in Iceland, which has earned him a move to a League club,” added Burnley goalkeeping coach Billy Mercer. “He had a spell at Bolton last season, which was disappointing from a playing point of view but gave him valuable experience of being part of a promotion-winning set-up. “And he has now a chance to gain further experience with a good move to Carlisle after earning a new contract here.” Jensen could be in action tonight as Carlisle continue their pre-season preparations with a trip to Chorley.

#PLStories- Brighton striker #DannyWelbeck signs new deal #BHAFC

June 24, 2021
The former England striker has signed a new one-year deal. He was a big hit with the Seagulls last term after signing as a free agent a few weeks into the campaign. His performances attracted interest from elsewhere this summer but the Seagulls have kept their man. Head coach Graham Potter said: “We’re delighted that he’s with us for next season. “Danny has demonstrated what is expected of a top professional from the moment he arrived here. As soon as the season finished, extending his stay at the club was a top priority. FORMER BRIGHTON BOSS OSCAR GARCIA SECURES NEW JOB IN FRANCE “He is a brilliant role model to have around the place and his experience at the very top end of the game is invaluable for helping us continuing to improve as a team.”

#PLStories- #PaulBarber would love #DannyWelbeck to stay at Brighton #BHAFC

June 3, 2021
Brighton chief executive Paul Barber would love to keep Danny Welbeck at the club next season, but knows they could face competition to secure his signature. The 30-year-old scored six goals for the Seagulls this season after joining on a free transfer in October, with only Neal Maupay (8) having scored more. But with his contract due to expire at the end of this month, Barber would love the striker to stay. Speaking at Albion's fans forum on Tuesday night, he said: "He did a fantastic job for us and I think anyone who doubted that Danny [Welbeck] was still capable of playing at this level have had their questions answered by the performances that he gave us. "Obviously we would love Danny back next season. "The plus side from what we saw is that he did a great job for us, the downside of what we saw is that makes him attractive to other clubs as well. "Therefore we go into a position where we would love Danny to be with us next year but we also know that he is even more desirable because of the opportunity he took with us and did a good job with us. "So we are certainly talking to Danny and we will see where we get to over the next few weeks." Welbeck's six goal for the Seagulls was his best return in the Premier League since the 2013/14 season where he scored nine goals in 30 appearances for Manchester United. His 24 appearances for Albion was also the most he has made in a season since 2017/18 where he made 43 appearances in all competitions for Arsenal.

#PLStories- #GoranBabic describes first pro deal at Saints as a massive moment in his career #SAINTSFC

June 2, 2021
RISING star Goran Babic insists it is a “massive step in my career” to pen his first professional contract with Saints. The 17-year-old has put pen to paper on a deal at St Mary’s which runs until 2023. Having signed from Brentford back in 2015, the central midfielder has become a regular feature in Saints’ under-18 side this season. Babic, who has already represented Serbia at age-group international level, told the club website: “It’s a very proud moment for me and my family. “This is something I’ve been working for my whole life so it’s a massive step in my career and I’m looking forward to what comes. “It’s been an amazing five-six years at the club, I want to thank all the coaches and the staff for getting me to this point. A lot of work has gone into improving me as a player and as a person. I’m delighted with the difference they’ve made in my career. “As well as footballing ability and technical skill, they’ve taught me to become a better person, how to deal with my emotions, how to speak to other people and respect others. I really do owe a lot of this to them so, thank you. “In the short term I’m hoping to progress into the B team next season and be in and around the first team. “In the next five-six years I want to be a standard first team player, that’s what I hope to achieve. “I hope to have a successful pre-season with my age group and obviously get back from injury quickly and soon be part of the B team squad, hopefully.”
