Anel Ahmedhodžić, born on 26 March 1999 (age 27), is a Bosnia and Herzegovina central defender now with Burnley. At 6ft 3in (1.90m), he brings obvious size to the position, though his better seasons have shown more than just reach and ballast.
His standout league campaign came at Sheffield United in 2022-2023, when he scored six goals in 34 appearances. For a centre-half, that is a useful return rather than a statistical curiosity, and it helped mark him out as an important first-team player rather than just another defender passing through.
Ahmedhodžić is currently valued at around £15.5m by Transfermarkt. His career to this point has taken him from a productive spell at Sheffield United to Burnley, with his profile built mainly on regular senior football and a notable threat from defence.
