If Dastan Satpayev thought he would be joining a side that would dominate the Championship and fight for promotion, early signs are that he and Chelsea have got it badly wrong.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Only just turned 18, highly-rated Satpayev<\/a> caught the eye of Chelsea<\/a> supporters in the summer after scoring against Western Sydney Wanderers. Already a Kazakhstan international, the hype is enormous.<\/p>\n

Lamine Camara and Moises Caicedo are VERY similar midfielders\u2026<\/h3>\n

Xabi Alonso is known to be very excited by Satpayev<\/a>. But such is the competition at Chelsea, all parties felt a loan move to the Championship was best for the attacker. The club chosen was relegated Burnley.<\/p>\n

A yo-yo club that have starred in the Championship but struggled in the Premier League over the last decade. The belief was that Satpayev would join a side winning most games and fighting for promotion.<\/p>\n

Burnley form so far and Dastan Satpayev\u2019s minutes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

He was not signed in time for Burnley\u2019s first game against West Ham, but he came on as a sub in their next game \u2013 a 3-1 loss to West Brom. Even then, Burnley fans were impressed with his cameo display<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the week, he started his first game and lasted 80 minutes as Burnley drew 0-0 with Bradford City and lost on penalties. On Saturday, he played the entire match but Burnley were hammered 4-1 by Norwich.<\/p>\n

New Burnley boss Nicky Hayen heaps praise on Satpayev<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Despite the dismal result against a side that had struggled in their first two Championship games, Nicky Hayen<\/a> still found the time to heap praise on Satpayev. There is no doubt he was Burnley\u2019s best player.<\/p>\n

Valentin Barco impressed tonight, but do Chelsea still need a new midfielder this summer? And if so, who?<\/h3>\n

He even says that the rest of the Burnley squad need to take a leaf out of Satpayev\u2019s book moving forward: \u201cToday, you also saw Dastan Satpayev \u2013 the 18-year-old was the best player on the pitch. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere are other players who need to look at themselves and ask themselves some questions. If you saw the energy he brought, the way he fought for the team; that\u2019s exactly what everyone should be showing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dastan Satpayev\u2019s stats from 4-1 hammering at Norwich<\/h2>\n

According to FotMob<\/a>, Satpayev was Burnley\u2019s second-highest rated player on the day with a display of 7.4. He boasted a combined XG and XA of 0.88 and more touches in the opposition box than any player.<\/p>\n

The result did not reflect the match, with Burnley having plenty of chances too \u2013 Satpayev created three, second-most on the pitch while completing 24 of his 33 passes and enjoying 55 touches throughout.<\/p>\n

He also showed his work rate and defensive intelligence, joint-second for interceptions (3) and while he lost eight duels, he still managed to win six \u2013 joint-first on the day. A top performance, despite the result.<\/p>\n
