Burnley boosted by Tottenham Hotspur update, Manchester United battle Liverpool for Bundesliga captain

The prospect of Hugo Lloris leaving Tottenham Hotspur is reportedly slim – news that will be welcomed by Burnley fans.

Spurs have been frequently linked with a move for Clarets goalkeeper Nick Pope, prompting speculation that Sean Dyche would do well to keep hold of the England international this summer.
