Ipswich Town have signed Dutch forward Zian Flemming from Burnley for £20m.
Flemming, 28, has signed a four-year contract with Ipswich Town.
The striker scored 11 league goals for Burnley last season as they were relegated from the Premier League. He has scored three goals in the first four games of the current campaign.
Ipswich manager Gary O’Neil said he was “impressed” by Flemming’s first season and was “very pleased” to bring him to the club.
O’Neil said: “He has good quality and experience and has started the new season well, so is a great addition to the group as we strengthen the squad further.”
After beating West Ham in August, Burnley manager Nicky Weaver urged Flemming, who joined them from Millwall for £7m in 2025, to stay.
Flemming said he was “proud” to sign for Ipswich Town, who beat Sunderland 2-1 in their first game after returning to the top flight before being beaten 5-2 by Manchester United at the weekend.
He said: “I played in the Premier League last season and really enjoyed my first season at the top level, competing against the best players and teams in the world, so I am delighted to now be back there with a great club like Ipswich Town.”
Flemming becomes Ipswich Town’s 12th signing of the summer.
