Burnley join English clubs interested in £6m-rated Aberdeen defender Scott McKenna as Clarets centre-back Ben Gibson attracts Bundesliga attention

Burnley are among the clubs considering a move for Aberdeen centre back Scott McKenna.

The Premier League side have interest from Bundesliga clubs in Ben Gibson but would not consider letting any players out without having a replacement lined up.

McKenna asked to leave at the end of last season and attracted interest from Aston Villa, Stoke City, Nottingham Forest and QPR in the summer but Aberdeen were reluctant to let him leave and wanted around £6million for the 23-year-old Scotland international.
