Burnley are progressing in talks to sign Basel forward Zeki Amdouni and in advanced talks to sign Nathan Redmond on a free transfer.
Amdouni, 22, spent last season on loan at the Swiss club, where he scored 22 goals and provided five assists in 52 appearances before the club triggered an option to make the move permanent in May 2023.
Burnley have already strengthened their forward options this summer after triggering their option to make Michael Obafemi’s loan move from Swansea City permanent but he will miss the start of the season after undergoing surgery on his hamstring.
Like Obafemi, Amadouni would be another young forward who brings international pedigree to Vincent Kompany’s attack. The versatile forward has scored five goals in five games for the Switzerland national team, including three goals in two games last month against Andorra and Romania.
