Stolen from the Burnley forum article in the scum this morning:
Burnley boss Vincent Kompany will be in the bidding for Coventry City’s Swedish striker Viktor Gyokeres in the window.
Kompany wants an extra forward for the promotion push and hard-running, quick-shooting Gyokeres is top of his list.
Gyokeres was valued at around £15 million in the last window, a fee that put off Fulham and Middlesbrough, and Burnley would not go in that high.
However the Clarets could make a splash at a large figure and hope that Coventry’s uncertainties off the field force a sensible sale.
Ironically Burnley tried for Sky Blues midfielder Callum O’Hare in the last market but he was injured as they closed in on a fee. And new arrivals since have meant he is not a priority now.
Kompany will get cash to spend after raising funds and also impressing with his instant improvement of the squad.
Burnley fear and almost expect Belgium will make an approach for Kompany to become the next national coach.
However the former Belgian skipper is committed to the club who gave him his big chance in England. And the fact he has had money and will continue to have it helps in any decision he has to take.
