Burnley player overrated and under pressure – “People get so excited without knowing him”

Burnley defender Oliver Sonne has come under scrutiny regarding his role with the Peru national team under manager Mano Menezes. Former Peru goalkeeper Leao Butron publicly questioned the excitement surrounding the 25-year-old, stating that Sonne is not superior to Alianza Lima right-back Marco Huaman.

The debate emerges as Peru prepares for friendly matches against the United States, Mexico, Canada, and Colombia to begin a new cycle after missing out on the 2026 World Cup. Media host Mr. Peet echoed Butron's technical assessment of Sonne, though he noted the Burnley defender possesses a distinct physical advantage.
