Burnley submit bid for Deportivo La Coruna striker

Burnley have made a £11.8 million bid for Deportivo La Coruna striker Florin Andone.

The Clarets have turned their attentions to the Romania international after having had two bids rejected by Championship side Leeds United for Chris Wood.

Sky Sports says Watford, Fiorentina, Espanyol and Sporting Lisbon have all been linked with Andone, who scored 12 goals in 37 appearances for Deportivo last season.

Burnley are eager to replace striker Andre Gray who joined Watford for £18m earlier this month.

Andone began playing in Spain’s lower divisions before making his professional debut for Cordoba when he was 21-years-old.
