Burnley are close to finalising £14m deal for Aston Villa youngster Aaron Ramsey, as they turn attention away from free agent Andros Townsend

Burnley are finalising a £14m deal to sign Aston Villa youngster Aaron Ramsey.

The Clarets have already made a number of signings this summer ahead of their return campaign in the Premier League and are looking to make Ramsey their next recruit.

Vincent Kompany's side have agreed a deal to sign the Villa star as they look to bolster their attacking options this summer.

They had been exploring an option to sign Andros Townsend on a free after the winger left Everton in June, but have opted against a deal.
