Burnley are in talks with Liverpool over a move for Harry Wilson.

The Clarets want the Wales international on a permanent deal, the PA news agency understands.

A switch would end the winger’s 14-year stay at Anfield after he joined the club’s under-9s.

The 31-year-old is in the final year of his contract at the Amex and could complete a deal before Saturday’s visit of Southampton.

Leicester continue to monitor his situation but are yet to bid this window, having had two offers of around £30million rejected in January.

“I’ve got no other thoughts than him being in our plans. That’s certainly my take on it and certainly my strong advice to the chairman and the board,” manager Sean Dyche, who takes Burnley to Millwall in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, told a press conference.

“We want the players that have done so well here to be here. We think that can help to continue the journey in the Premier League, quite obviously, having good players here.

“We don’t need the finance so therefore we’re in good shape to tick all the boxes that keep players at football clubs and keep playing well.”
