Burnley are set to go head-to-head with Crystal Palace in the race to sign Watford midfielder Will Hughes, The Mail reports.
Hughes has entered the final year of his Hornets deal, and he recently turned down a two-year contract extension with the club.
As a result, he has been demoted to the Under 23s, and the club are likely to sanction his sale before the transfer deadline.
Crystal Palace were leading the race to land his signature, but their opening offer of £5 million has been turned down.
