Burnley are interested in signing French centre-back Mohamed Simakan from Strasbourg.
The Clarets have reportedly backed an offer for the 20-year-old star and are pushing manager Sean Dyche to make a £15m bid for the defender.
The Sun have reported that Burnley see him as their favourite defensive target and could try and make a move for him during the January transfer window.
AC Milan had attempted to sign the youngster in the final days of the summer transfer window, while West Ham also considered putting in a £9m offer.
