GOOD NEWS: Player ‘now likely to join’ Burnley – Final decision awaited to accept Clarets’ bid

GOOD NEWS: Player ‘now likely to join’ Burnley – Final decision awaited to accept Clarets’ bid.

Two days ago, journalist Sacha Tavolieri reported Burnley have made an offer to sign Dodi Lukebakio and will wait until the end of this week for the Hertha Berlin star’s decision.

Later that day, Bild stated the German club want to close the striker’s sale to the Clarets as soon as possible. It was also stated Vincent Kompany is keen to have him at Turf Moor.

Tavolieri took to Twitter again to state that Burnley have been in talks with the 25-year-old’s entourage this week. He then adds the Belgium international is ‘now likely to join’ Vincent Kompany’s side.

Burnley have already made a bid worth €11m plus €2m in potential bonus payments. The journalist says the German club are now waiting for the former Watford man’s final decision so they can accept the English club’s offer.

Tavolieri seems confident the deal is likely to go through as he says the transfer is ‘almost done’. Burnley can get the deal over the line soon once Lukebakio makes a firm decision.

The Belgian scored 12 goals and contributed five assists from 33 games last season, where Hertha were relegated from the Bundesliga.
