Burnley make £12m bid for Lyon winger Maxwel Cornet
Burnley have made a formal bid to sign Lyon winger Maxwel Cornet, The Sun reports.
The Clarets have had a quiet transfer window and have made just one outfield signing in centre-back Nathan Collins from Stoke City.
They are likely to strengthen their attack this month and have their sights on pursuing Cornet, who has been with Lyon since 2015.
Their opening bid of £12 million plus add-ons has bettered Hertha Berlin’s offer, but they are still short of meeting the £15m price tag.
The Clarets are still considered favourites to sign him with no improved offers thus far.

Cornet is a winger by trade, and he prefers to play on the right side of the attack.
