Reports from Belgium suggest that the 18-year-old winger, who is out of contract in the summer, will sign for the Clarets ahead of today’s 11pm deadline.

Vincent Kompany was linked with the teenager at the start of the season, following his appointment at Turf Moor, having worked with the youngster during his time at Lotto Park.

Left-footed, but capable of playing on either flank, he has been with the Purple and Whites’ Under 21 side.

He signed professional with Anderlecht in 2020 with twin, Ebenezer.

Journalist Kjell Doms said: “About #Agyei . It is indeed the intention that the winger would immediately leave for @BurnleyOfficial. In this way #RSCA catches another transfer fee and he will not walk outside at Neerpede for free this summer.”
