Newly promoted Burnley are closing in on the £7m signing of Republic of Ireland defender Dara O'Shea from West Brom.
O'Shea is understood to be having a medical at Turf Moor.
The 24-year-old will be the second central defender to join the Clarets this summer after Jordan Beyer's loan move was made permanent last month.
Burnley will face Premier League champions Manchester City in their top-flight opener on 11 August.
There was an £8m release clause in O'Shea's contract but West Brom have opted to let him leave for less to generate income as they face up to financial realities without parachute payments.
