Burnley fast-track wonderkid keeper Charlie Casper into first-team training under Vincent Kompany aged just 17

Published on October 23, 2022 at 05:36 PM

BURNLEY fast-tracked goalkeeper Charlie Casper into their first-team squad training group — at the age of just 17.

Highly-rated Casper is the grandson of former Turf Moor boss Frank and steeped in Clarets tradition, with his rise catching the eye.

Charlie Kasper has been involved in the Burnley first-team this season

Casper may go out on loan this season to keep up his rapid improvement.

The youngster is yet to feature in a matchday squad but Vincent Kompany did bring him along on the short trip to Preston last month.

Casper was delighted to be involved, writing on Instagram: “Great experience with the first team last night ⚽️”;

The goalkeeper signed a scholarship deal with the Clarets in February and Frank revealed his pride at his grandson’s achievement.

He said: “I’m very proud of him. He’s worked hard to get this.

“I used to watch him as a junior when he was a midfielder and I thought he was a good player then.

“He strikes a good ball, which helps for goalkeepers in today’s game.

“He’s a level-headed lad who will work hard and he knows what it takes to be a footballer from myself and his dad.

“It’s always difficult as a goalkeeper because it’s one position, but I just hope he can make it all the way.”
