Derby manager John Eustace said that forward Jaydon Banel drew his attention when he came off the bench for Burnley in their Carabao Cup win against Derby in August. Eustace told BBC Radio Derby that Banel is a young, exciting player who is motivated to prove himself. He added that the forward is highly motivated, wants to do well, and that leaving a Premier League club to come to a Championship team shows his ambition to showcase himself. Banel joined Burnley from Ajax on transfer deadline day in February 2025 and has now signed for Derby on loan until the end of the season.

Derby County have signed Burnley winger Jaydon Banel on loan for the rest of the season. The paperwork was completed in time for him to be available for the match against Bristol City tomorrow night.

Derby County are going to sign Burnley's Dutch winger Jaydon Banel on loan for the rest of the season. It is reported that the 21-year-old will complete the 25/26 season at Pride Park. Banel joined Burnley from Ajax on the last day of the transfer window last year after he apparently rejected a contract extension with the Amsterdam club, where he progressed through the youth system. Derby have monitored the winger since he was at Ajax and have now signed him, despite interest from other Championship clubs and teams in Spain, Germany, and Belgium. It is understood that Burnley expects Banel to return to Lancashire at the end of the season and has excluded any option to buy. Jaydon Banel earned an estimated £7.5k-a-week last season in the second-tier, according to Capology estimates. Banel has been capped by the Netherlands at the U20 level. He has a contract with Burnley until June 30, 2029, and has not made a first-team appearance in the Premier League this season. His current market value is estimated at €1.00m by Transfermarkt.
