Maxwel Cornet
Burnley negotiating personal terms with versatile attacker after agreeing £15m fee – report
Burnley are negotiating personal terms with Maxwel Cornet after finalising a transfer fee with Lyon, The Sun reports. The Clarets have had a quiet transfer window with centre-back Nathan Collins being the only outfield signing to date. Sean Dyche has emphasised the need for at least two new wingers, and they are now on the cusp of signing Cornet.

The report claims that Burnley want extra pace, and they have earmarked Cornet as a perfect fit for their squad. Cornet can play at left-back and further forward, and his versatility would be handy for the Clarets. German outfit Hertha Berlin are also in the race for the player’s signature and could offer more than Burnley are willing to splurge. We have already seen several players moving from the Ligue 1 to England this summer, and Cornet could do the same. Cornet was heavily linked with a move to Leeds United, but they were not willing to meet Lyon’s asking ...
