Burnley Set to Test West Brom's Resolve With Jay Rodriguez Offer Just Short of Asking Price

Burnley will increase their offer for Jay Rodriguez to £18m as they attempt to hurry the transfer through before deadline day, according to Sky Sports News.

The Clarets were hesitant to meet West Brom's demands for their former striker, but Sean Dyche is losing his patience and is prepared to pay over the odds to get Rodriguez through the door before Thursday.

The £18m offer will still be short of West Brom's £20m asking price, but it is still a large fee for a Championship player and the Baggies may be tempted to accept.
