Burnley Have Work To Do In Potential Deal To Sign Winger
Burnley still have work to do in negotiations to sign Genk winger Mike Tresor in the final days of the window, according to The Athletic.
The Clarets have signed a plethora of players since getting promoted but days before the end of the window their shopping is not done yet.
Vincent Kompany wants to add more attacking options to his squad and Tresor has been a big target for Burnley all summer.
The newly-promoted Premier League outfit have been pushing to sign the winger ahead of Friday’s deadline.
Talks are still ongoing between the two clubs but there is a fair bit of work still to do for Burnley before they can sign him.
The two sides are negotiating a deal that could see Tresor move to Turf Moor on a loan deal with an obligation to buy.
However, a number of things are still to be sorted out including the structure of a deal and the fee for the purchase clause.
Burnley are hopeful that a deal will be in place for Tresor to move to England before Friday’s transfer deadline.
The winger is highly rated and scored eight times and registered 24 assists for Genk last season.

Still work to be done’ for Burnley to sign Kompany target – Clarets refuse to offer ‘dizzying contract’
On Monday, we relayed news stating that Burnley have made an offer to sign Mike Trésor and shouldn’t have an issue agreeing personal terms with the Genk star.
Vincent Kompany has been an admirer of the winger and would love to bring him to Turf Moor.
Today’s Het Belang van Limburg states Burnley have stepped up a gear in their hunt for the 24-year-old.
The Clarets have returned to the Premier League and invested over €100m on new signings this summer. In order to comply with FFP rules, the report states the English club are looking to sign Trésor on a loan deal with a mandatory purchase option.
HBVL say the Jupiler Pro League side were initially hoping to collect €25m for the Belgium international’s exit but would now settle for a deal worth around €18-20m including bonuses.
Kompany, who wanted to sign Trésor last summer, is the ‘greatest asset’ for his club in this operation.
It’s claimed negotiations are progressing well between the two clubs, and the player also sits at the table to discuss personal terms with Burnley.
The newspaper adds ‘there is still work to be done’ with regards to the attacker’s salary since Burnley are not ready to propose a ‘dizzying contract’.
Trésor managed eight goals and 24 assists last season, and if Kompany and Burnley can somehow convince him, they can get the deal over the line.
