Burnley 'to complete £15m signing of Borussia Dortmund defender Soumaila Coulibaly' as Vincent Kompany readies his side for return to the Premier League

Burnley are set to complete the signing of Borussia Dortmund defender Soumaila Coulibaly, according to a report.

The Championship champions have been monitoring the 19-year-old for a few months now and seem to have secured their man in an £15million deal.

The deal is said to initially be a loan agreement, though a mandatory buy option clause is said to be included for next summer.

He will join the Clarets after two years at Dortmund, where he made 16 appearances for their second team last season and one appearance in the Bundesliga.
