How Burnley’s Scott Twine became a ‘better player’ prior to being loaned out to …
Reports have emerged in recent weeks that the likes of West Ham and Wolves could potentially be interested in a summer swoop for the 27-year-old.
Crystal Palace, Everton, Leeds United, Leicester City and Middlesbrough have also been attributed with interest.
Brownhill played a huge part of Burnley’s Championship title win last season, captaining the side for much of the campaign and making 48 appearances in all competitions, scoring seven times.
He started on the bench for the Premier League opener against Manchester City, however, and only came on in the 89th minute.
When asked what lies in store for Brownhill’s future, Kompany appeared to rule out a departure ahead of next week’s transfer deadline.
“There’s no talk about Browny’s future,” he said emphatically.
“The level in the squad has improved and everybody is hungry to compete. Knowing him he’s rolling up his sleeves and going for it.”
Brownhill made the move to Turf Moor from Bristol City for an undisclosed fee in January 2020.
The midfielder penned a four-and-a-half year deal at the time, with the contract also including an option to extend by 12 months.
Nevertheless, supporters will be keen to see the club tie Brownhill down to a longer contract to follow in the footsteps of his fellow midfielder Josh Cullen, who recently agreed a new three-year deal.
Manuel Benson and Anass Zaroury, meanwhile, have also been handed new contracts following the club’s promotion to the Premier League.
