“He just doesn’t want to be here, he only came here for Vincent Kompany, He wants out, he’s throwing his toys out of the pram”- Burnley urged to sanction exit of £15m signing this January as Pundit says player doesn’t want to be at Turf Moor

Looking ahead to the January transfer window, Burnley have been tipped to finally move on Mike Tresor in the second-half of the season.

The Clarets have initiated the 2024/25 Championship campaign largely in accordance with expectation under the tuition of Scott Parker, a two-time promotion winner from the second-tier with both Fulham and Bournemouth in previous years.

Burnley currently find themselves in second-place, five points behind league leaders Sunderland. They’ve only lost once in league action, although the Clarets are struggling to convert many draws into wins, which will doubtless be a concern ahead of the January window in two month’s time.

Mike Tresor tipped to leave Burnley in January
We asked our Clarets fan pundit, Nathan Rogers, to name two January transfer scenarios he can envision playing out at Turf Moor. Nathan believes it’s likely that Burnley will sanction an exit for Mike Tresor, whose time in Lancashire has been miserable since making the move from Genk last summer.

Tresor initially joined Burnley on loan ahead of their Premier League crusade under Vincent Kompany, but they were obliged to sign him permanently for a staggering £15.4 million fee at the end of the season and that became a problem when they were relegated back to the Championship, with Tresor failing to contribute a single goal or assist from 19 appearances across all competitions.

According to reports, the tricky Belgian playmaker wanted to leave the club in the summer amid interest from Dutch giants Ajax, although the move fell through and he’s endured a frosty relationship with supporters ever since.

“I think one of the things that’s definitely going to happen is Mike Tresor going out the door,” Nathan told Football League World.

“It’s pretty much a given, he’s not getting any game time and he’s been throwing his toys out the pram [in reference to a video published to Tresor’s official Instagram account after the move to Ajax fell through] at any given opportunity. He just doesn’t want to be here.

“He was a Kompany signing, he’s a Kompany man – he only came here for Vincent Kompany. He wants out. So yeah, Tresor’s going out the door.”
