Burnley are interested in signing Argentinian midfielder Gonzalo Escalante from Spanish club Eibar, according to Sky sources.

The Basque side finished 10th in La Liga last season with the 24-year old playing a key role in central midfield.

Sky Sources in Spain say Sean Dyche's scouting team have been monitoring Escalante for the past year.

A deal for the playmaker is likely to be worth around £6m.
