Brentford have signed forward Jaidon Anthony from Burnley on a four-year contract, with an option for an extra year.

The 26-year-old joins the Bees for £15m, which could rise to £17m with add-ons.

Anthony contributed nine goals and four assists across 38 appearances in all competitions last season, although that was not enough to prevent the Clarets from being relegated.

The Brentford move appeals to Anthony, who is from London and began his career in Arsenal‘s academy, while Bees manager Keith Andrews considers him a good fit for his style of play.

“We’ve been aware of Jaidon’s journey for a long, long time and have always admired him from afar,” said Andrews.

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

“After meeting him, it became very evident that he’d fit into the culture of the club and add to the squad.

“He still has so much more room for growth and improvement, and we’re really looking forward to working with him.”

Brentford have already signed defender Jannik Schuster from RB Salzburg in a deal worth up to £16m including add-ons.

Anthony left Arsenal in 2016 without making an appearance for the senior team but then established himself at Bournemouth after loan spells at Weymouth and Leeds United.

He joined Burnley on loan from Bournemouth in 2024, with the move made permanent last summer following promotion to the Premier League, triggering an £8m obligation-to-buy clause.

Burnley were relegated after one season in the top flight and face West Ham in their first game back in the Championship on 16 August.

Brentford narrowly missed out on European qualification, finishing ninth on goal difference, and play Tottenham in their opening Premier League fixture.
