Arsenal defender Dan Ballard is set to become Vincent Kompany's first signing at Burnley in a £2m deal... with Premier League side also agreeing sell-on clause for Northern Ireland international

Arsenal defender Daniel Ballard is joining Burnley in a £2million deal.

Arsenal have also agreed a sell-on clause and matching sale price clause for the 22-year-old Northern Ireland international who has previously been on loan at Blackpool and Millwall.

It would represent Vincent Kompany's first piece of first-team incoming transfer business as Clarets boss, and a critical signing too having seen centre-backs Ben Mee and James Tarkowski depart.
