Angola midfielder Luwawu has joined Burnley U21 from AFA, beginning his move to English football at the age of 18.
The transfer was completed on 20 August 2026, with Luwawu joining Burnley’s under-21 side, which competes in Premier League 2. He has agreed a contract running until 30 June 2030.
Luwawu operates as a defensive midfielder and is listed as left-footed. His arrival adds an Angolan player to Burnley’s development squad as he starts his career in England following his time with AFA.
Born in Luanda on 10 July 2008, Luwawu stands 1.78 metres tall. His move represents a change of footballing environment, taking him from AFA to a club competing within the English professional development system.
Burnley U21 provides the setting for Luwawu’s next stage, with Premier League 2 offering a regular competitive structure for players progressing through under-21 football. The midfielder will now be part of Burnley’s group for the 2026-27 season.
The move also gives Luwawu the opportunity to continue playing in his preferred central role after switching clubs at the start of the new campaign. His listed position is defensive midfield, placing him at the base of the midfield rather than in an attacking role.
Luwawu’s previous club was AFA, and he joins Burnley at a stage when his senior career is still beginning. His nationality and place of birth make him one of the latest Angolan players to move into the English football system, while his long contract provides a defined period with the Burnley under-21 side.
There are no recorded details of a transfer fee attached to the move. The agreement is instead defined by the player’s arrival at Burnley U21 and a contract that extends through June 2030.
Luwawu has therefore exchanged AFA for Burnley U21 and is now registered with the English club for the 2026-27 season.
