Every Burnley FC striker's estimated weekly wage - Lyle Foster on £32,500-a-week | OneFootball

We have revealed an estimate of how much each striker at Turf Moor is earning per week.

There was a considerable amount of activity in Burnley's striker department during the summer, with Zeki Amdouni one of several players in this area leaving since the end of last season.

The Clarets saw David Datro Fofana leave first, with his loan spell at Turf Moor coming to an end and the club not making an effort to retain his services for at least another season.

Other forwards also left the club - and one of the most unsurprising departures of the summer window was Wout Weghorst - who spent a decent chunk of his time at the Lancashire club out on loan.

He has finally sealed a permanent move away from the Championship side, making the move back to his home nation to link up with Dutch giants Ajax.

Michael Obafemi has also left to join Plymouth Argyle on loan, and you feel it's only a matter of time before he leaves permanently too.

Michael Mellon, meanwhile, has joined League One high-flyers Stockport County and will be hoping to make an impression there before returning to Lancashire.

Andreas Hountondji and Zian Flemming have both arrived, and with Jay Rodriguez putting pen to paper on a new deal and Lyle Foster staying put, they may have enough options in this area for now.

Below, we take a look at how much each striker at Turf Moor is estimated to be earning, based on data from Capology.

1 Jay Rodriguez - £40,000-a-week

Experienced forward Jay Rodriguez has played plenty of games in the top two tiers of English football and could be a useful asset to have once again this term.

It's no secret that he probably won't be a player they can rely on in the long term, considering he may be coming to the latter stages of his career now.

But he was an important figure during the last promotion-winning campaign (2022/23 season) and could be a good option to have once again this season.

He may not start most games, but his experience both on the pitch and off it could aid the Clarets.

In terms of what he's estimated to be earning, Capology has an estimate of £40,000 per week, although it wouldn't be a surprise if he's earning less than that after signing a new deal during the summer.

Lyle Foster is one of the club's most talented strikers - and he will be hoping to build on his goal against Lancashire rivals Blackburn Rovers.

He would have been upset to have missed out against Leeds United, but he looks set to return in the short term and that should give him the opportunity to impress again.

Likely to be a key player this term, it will be interesting to see whether he can be a key figure in guiding the club back to the Premier League.

Registering five goals in 24 top-tier appearances last season, though, that's an indication that he could be a real threat at this level.

And it wouldn't be a surprise if he's earning around £32,500, considering how much of a key player he is.

At the moment, Flemming is on loan from Millwall, but the Clarets are probably able to pay all of his wages.

In terms of the £15,000-a-week number, that sounds like the right sort of figure, considering he was a club-record signing for the Lions when he joined back in 2022.

He played as the Clarets' most advanced player at Leeds - but it remains to be seen where he starts in the coming weeks and months.

The Dutchman could be a real asset in the final third for Scott Parker's side this term.

4 Andreas Hountondji - £7,500-a-week

Summer signing Hountondji seemed to be surplus to requirements at his former club Caen, having been loaned out on a number of occasions.

Having gone out on loan on several occasions, the player needed a permanent destination to settle down and his move to Lancashire may give him the opportunity to settle.

With this in mind, as well as the fact Turf Moor is an exciting place to be as they look to secure a route back to the top flight, Hountondji may have been willing to come without demanding an excessive wage.

This is why it wouldn't be a surprise if he's on around £7,500.
