July 7 (Reuters) - ⁠Brentford have signed forward Jaidon ⁠Anthony from Burnley on a four-year ‌contract with an option for a further year, the Premier League club said on ​Tuesday.

The 26-year-old joins for ⁠an undisclosed fee ⁠after scoring nine goals in 38 ⁠appearances last ‌season across all competitions at Burnley, who were ⁠relegated to the second-tier Championship.

"We've been ​aware ‌of Jaidon's journey for a long ⁠time and ​have always admired him from afar," saidBrentford head coach Keith Andrews,

"He ⁠did really well last season, ​which is difficult in a team that got relegated."

Anthony made 81 appearances ⁠in all competitions for Burnley across two seasons, having initially joined on loan from Bournemouth before completing ​a permanent move last ⁠summer.

Brentford begin their 2026-27 Premier League ​campaign against Tottenham ‌Hotspur on August 22.
