Burnley hit by EFL transfer embargo after late draft accounts submission

Burnley have been put under a transfer embargo by the English Football League after submitting their accounts late.

In a statement, the Championship leaders said draft accounts and financial information had been given to the EFL's financial reporting unit and the delay was down to a change in auditors taking longer than expected.

The club believe the EFL will have "no issue" with the accounts.

They also said they were confident the issue would be "resolved swiftly".

Under the league's jurisdiction, clubs can be penalised with embargoes for failing to fulfil requirements of the Financial Fair Play system.
