Burnley in advanced talks to sign Lyon winger Maxwel Cornet
Burnley are in advanced negotiations to secure the signature of Lyon winger Maxwel Cornet, Football Insider reports.
The Clarets have had a quiet transfer window, with centre-back Nathan Collins being their only outfield signing to date.
Sean Dyche recently voiced his concerns over the lack of wide attacking options, and the club may look to address the issue.
It is now reported that the Clarets are in advanced talks to land Cornet after tabling an offer of £14 million including add-ons.
The package is just short of Lyon’s £15m valuation. They are hoping to beat Hertha Berlin with further discussions planned this week.
