There is a solid rumour circulating that Burnley are interested in signing Nigerian international striker Sone Aluko.

Aluko is currently on record in claiming he is discussing moving to an English Premier League club.

The English born Nigerian international has recently been released by Hull City and is a free agent.

Aluko and his agent are according to reliable sources in discussions with the Clarets, who have been recently promoted to the English top flight.

The Clarets face stiff competition for Aluko from Eddie Howe's Bournemouth and a whole host of Championship clubs.

Aluko has however, stated his priority is to remain with a club who are plying their trade in the Barclays Premier League.

Burnley now look likely to strenghten their squad with the addition of a 27 year old who is now at the top of his game.

Interesting footnote: Sone's sister, Eniola Aluko plays for Chelsea Ladies. (TEC).
