Burnley prepared to bid for West Ham United forward Andriy Yarmolenko

Burnley have entered the race to sign West Ham United attacker Andriy Yarmolenko this summer, Turkish journalist Ekrem Konur claims.

The Hammers are keen to offload Yarmolenko during the ongoing transfer window as they look to reduce his £115,000-a-week salary from their wage bill.

It was recently reported that Fenerbahce could sign the Ukrainian for a cut-price £2 million fee, but it appears that they could face competition from the Clarets.

Sean Dyche’s side are aiming to reinforce their attack, and they are prepared to bid around £3m to bring the 31-year-old to Turf Moor this summer.
