Boss Sean Dyche has confirmed the Clarets have an option to bring Nahki Wells back to Turf Moor which they may consider using to clarify his long-term future.
Wells is currently enjoying a second productive loan spell at Queens Park Rangers and could figure for the Hoops in their FA Cup fourth-round tie against Sheffield Wednesday on Friday night.
But the striker, 29, has attracted interest from elsewhere during the January transfer window.
And Burnley could consider utilising the option to re-call him from his stay at Loftus Road while a decision is made on where he plays his football next.
