Burnley were ‘willing’ to spend £4m, Sheffield United star attracts ‘interest’
Burnley haven’t conceded a goal to Swansea City at Turf Moor since 2016.
Burnley made it eleven Championship matches unbeaten at the weekend as they thrashed Swansea City 4-0 at Turf Moor. The win has left the Clarets top of the table on goal difference.
Vitinho, Jay Rodriguez (2) and Anass Zaroury netted for the home side as they claimed all three points, while they also picked up their second consecutive clean sheet.
Upcoming fixtures against the likes of Sunderland and Norwich City could prove pivotal as they look to solidify their position at the top, while second place Sheffield United also face the Canaries next weekend. The newly relegated club sit only a point from the top two.
Here are today’s rumours…
