Burnley set to sign Huddersfield striker, Everton winger also a target

Burnley are reportedly close to signing out of favour Huddersfield Town forward Nahki Wells.

The Clarets are believed to have agreed a £5 million deal to bring the Bermuda international to Turf Moor after their bid for Lorient striker Majeed Waris was rejected.

Signed from Bradford City in 2014, Wells was one of the key figures in the Terriers’ push for promotion last season. But the arrival of Steve Mounie from Montpellier has forced Wells to search for a new club as consistent game time looks bleak. This could also be a problem at Burnley as they have signed Chris Wood from Leeds United this summer.
