Burnley have confirmed the return of Danish winger Jacob Bruun Larsen, who joins the club from VfB Stuttgart on a permanent deal. The 26-year-old has signed a four-year contract and is set to play a key role as Burnley prepare for the upcoming campaign.
This move marks a return to familiar surroundings for Bruun Larsen, who previously spent the 2023-24 season on loan at Turf Moor. During that spell, he featured in 32 Premier League matches and netted six goals, becoming a consistent presence on the wing and earning praise for his work rate and attacking threat.
Speaking about his return, Bruun Larsen expressed genuine excitement. He described his decision to rejoin the Clarets as an easy one, highlighting his connection with the club and its supporters. He said he felt a strong sense of belonging during his loan spell and looks forward to once again playing in front of the Burnley faithful.
“I’m so happy to be back, to be honest. It’s a good feeling,” he shared. “Once I heard the club were interested, it was an easy decision. I knew I was ready to return and make the move permanent. I can’t wait to run out that tunnel again at Turf Moor in a few weeks and see all the fans again.”
The Danish international, who began his professional career at Borussia Dortmund, brings valuable experience and versatility to Burnley’s squad. Since making his debut in 2016, he has also played for Hoffenheim and Anderlecht, adding European pedigree and technical skill to his profile. His ability to operate on either flank, combined with a keen eye for goal, makes him a useful asset for the team’s attacking setup.
Bruun Larsen’s time at Stuttgart was brief, lasting only six months before his move back to England. However, the opportunity to return to Burnley, where he had already built strong relationships and adapted well to the club’s playing style, proved too good to turn down.
With seven international appearances for Denmark and one goal to his name, Bruun Larsen has proven his ability to compete at a high level. His return adds depth to Burnley’s wing options and provides the team with a player who not only understands the demands of English football but is also determined to make a lasting impact.
As Burnley continue their preparations for the new season, the addition of a familiar and motivated player like Bruun Larsen represents a positive step. His pace, creativity, and experience are expected to bolster the team’s attacking threat and offer supporters plenty of reasons for optimism.
