Oliver Sonne is on the verge of leaving Burnley on loan.

The Burnley Express understands the right-back has agreed a deal to join Czech side Sparta Prague, as per Danish outlet Tipsbladet.

The deal will run until the end of the season. It’s claimed a medical has been booked for this week.

The 25-year-old has struggled for game time under Scott Parker this season, making just 10 appearances across all competitions.

His one and only start in the Premier League came on the opening day of the season at Tottenham.

The Danish-born defender performed well in a recent FA Cup outing against Millwall, but has subsequently remained an unused substitute in league encounters.

Parker recently admitted the Peru international could be better served by leaving in January to get some more minutes under his belt.

“Maybe there could be an option there and there could be an option for a few, obviously, with lack of game time,” he said.

“Again, depending on the circumstances regarding us, we'll make that decision on who we feel can go or should go just for game time.

“Oliver's one that has done incredibly well and, of course, there has been a lack of game time in there, so that'll be a decision that we will make and we'll see what we can do with that.”

Sonne’s departure will leave Burnley a little light on options on the right-hand side of defence. Kyle Walker is currently the preferred option at right wing-back while Axel Tuanzebe, who can also fill in at right-back if required, currently playing on the right of a back three.

Connor Roberts, meanwhile, remains sidelined with an Achilles injury, having not played all season.

Sonne’s departure will, however, create a free space in Burnley’s 25-man squad ahead of Monday night’s transfer deadline. Josh Cullen is also expected to be un-registered as a result of his ACL injury.
