Burnley are rivalling Crystal Palace in the battle for midfielder Will Hughes.
The Watford star could be available in a cut-price deal - potentially as little as £5million.
The 26-year-old is going cheaper than expected due to the fact his contract at Vicarage Road expires at the end of the season.
Palace’s interest is at an advanced stage, but Burnley have made their own proposal with a view to signing Hughes by the end of the month.
It remains to be seen, however, if Hughes is interested in leaving the Watford this season ahead of a potentially lucrative free transfer move away next summer.
