Burnley are keen on signing Ghana international Abdul Majeed Waris from French Ligue 2 side Lorient, according to Sky sources.
Sean Dyche wants to add more reinforcements to his summer signings, following their club record £15m signing of Chris Wood from Leeds.
Waris, 25, scored 10 goals in 36 appearances for Lorient last season as Lorient finished third-bottom in Ligue 1. They were relegated to the second tier following a play-off defeat to Troyes.
Waris, who has won 22 caps for Ghana and played at the 2014 World Cup, had spells in Sweden, Russia and Turkey with BK Hacken, Spartak Moscow and Trabzonspor respectively, while he also spent six months on loan at Valenciennes in 2014.
Waris would provide competition for Wood, who could make his Burnley debut in Wednesday's Carabao Cup derby clash with Blackpool.
Burnley suffered their first defeat of the season last Saturday when West Brom claimed a 1-0 win at Turf Moor, and afterwards Dyche insisted he wasn't concerned by his team's profligacy in front of goal.
