Burnley join Brighton & Hove Albion in race to sign Marc Cucurella

Burnley are prepared to go head-to-head with Brighton & Hove Albion in the race to sign Getafe defender Marc Cucurella, The Telegraph reports.

Cucurella has been with La Liga outfit for the past two seasons, where he has impressed with four goals and eight assists from 85 appearances.

The Spaniard started his career as a left-back, but he was vastly played on the left side of the midfield for Getafe in their preferred 4-4-2 formation.

Brighton have been heavily tipped to sign him this summer, but it appears that they could now face competition from Burnley for his services.
