Burnley boss Sean Dyche prepares swoop for Nottingham Forest ace Joe Worrall

And he is still looking to fill a gap left by Michael Keane’s exit to Everton.

Dyche still has the money from that sale to invest and he is looking to land Nottingham Forest youngster Worrall.

Burnley have Ben Mee and James Tarkowski in top form but they would like Worrall, 20, to  provide competition.

The England Under-20 skipper fits the Burnley profile and it is now a matter of agreeing a fee with Forest for a player they rate at  £12million.

Dyche is also ready to make a low £1.5m bid for Everton’s Aaron Lennon, 30, the winger he missed out in the summer — as we first revealed.

Lennon’s deal runs out in the summer and there is no sign of him staying.

Worrall shot to prominence after a string of impressive performances while on international duty with England.

He has represented the Three Lions at youth level, and captained the squad that won the 2017 Toulon Tournament.
