Burnley Striker Andre Gray Excited Ahead Premier League Fixtures Release

Published on: 13 June 2016

"?Burnley striker Andre Gray says his squad are eager to find out where they will start their Premier League campaign next season, according to a report in the "?Lancashire Telegraph.


Burnley secured promotion to the Premier League by finishing first in the Championship, with Grey scoring 24 league goals in 41 appearances, and the 24-year-old says the idea of playing at prestigious Premier League grounds like Old Trafford, Anfield and Stamford Bridge remains something of a dream.

"When the fixtures come out and you see all the big away days, I think it will sink in then"?, the Championship's top scorer admitted.


"I can't wait. I'm going to relax and enjoy the summer, but when we come back for pre-season it will really sink in and we'll check the fixtures."?


A debut Premier League season for Grey marks an impressive rise through the leagues for the Burnley striker, who was playing in the Conference Premier division with Luton Town as recently as the 2013-14 season. 


He moved to Brentford after scoring 52 goals in 97 league appearances for Luton, and continued his goalscoring form for the Bees, scoring 16 goals during the 2014-15 season.

He secured a £6m move to Burnley at the beginning of the 2015-16 season, and whilst the challenge of the Premier League could be a daunting one, Grey is looking forward to testing himself on England's biggest stage against the best players in the country.


"I'm looking forward to everything, I think you're going to be a bit star struck every week because personally I've never played against those kind of players until Arsenal this season.


"To be playing against world class players every week, who have won the World Cup and Champions League, is going to be crazy."?


The Premier League fixtures for the 2016-17 season will be released at 9am on Wednesday morning.
