Burnley go back to West Ham for Stanislas

22 August 2011 22:53
Having signed Zavon Hines last week, Burnley are now set to make a move for his former West Ham team mate, 21-year-old Junior Stanislas. He made his first team bow during a loan spell with Southend in the 2008/09 season and such were his performances, particularly in two FA Cup games against Chelsea, that he soon won a place in the West Ham side. That debut came against West Brom at the Boleyn Ground when he came on as a substitute for Savio and he scored his first goal soon after, the first in a 2-0 home win against Sunderland. He scored the second of West Ham's five against us in the Premier League and came on as a sub in the return game at Turf Moor. He didn't play in last season's cup tie having been ruled out for the season in January because of a hernia problem. He's made just one appearance this season, as a substitute against Doncaster Rovers.
