According to reports, FC Augsburg are in ‘advanced discussions’ with Burnley for the transfer of Han-Noah Massengo. According to Get Football News France - via Foot Mercato - the move could be a permanent one, it follows a loan spell with Auxerre last season for the 24-year-old, who has made 11 Burnley appearances.

Get Football News report: “Augsburg are looking to swoop in and bring Massengo to the Bundesliga. The German club have begun negotiations with their Premier League counterparts and are looking to offer a five-year contract to the Frenchman.”

Meanwhile, Burnley FC have been credited with an interest in Le Havre’s Étienne Youté - with Celtic also reportedly tracking the 23-year-old defender. The centre-back has one year left on his current deal so could be available for a cut price fee.

Sport Witness report: “Celtic and Burnley are among the clubs in the mix to sign Le Havre’s Étienne Youté this summer.

“The centre-back has less than a year left on his contract and could leave the Ligue 1 side if there’s an offer of €5m. That’s according to L’Equipe, who state the 23-year-old is attracting interest from a few clubs, including Celtic and Burnley. L’Equipe explain last season was the most difficult one in Youté’s career, but that hasn’t put off interested parties.”
