Burnley keen on ex-Everton midfielder as Tottenham Hotspur linked with Real Madrid defender

Sean Dyche has held talks with the new owners over potential recruits, but there is no breakthrough as of yet.

That said, Dyche and co still have until 11pm on Monday, February 1 to finalise their transfer business as they look to end the 2020/21 season on a high.

In the mix of all the speculation, the Clarets face Manchester United at Turf Moor this evening, where a win would take them eight points above the relegation places.
