Burnley agree £7million transfer for Dinamo Zagreb midfield ace Mislav Orsic as Sean Dyche reinvests Chris Wood money
BURNLEY have agreed a £7million fee for Dinamo Zagreb playmaker Mislav Orsic as they splash the £25m Newcastle paid for Chris Wood.
The Clarets finally broke through in their pursuit for the Croatia star, despite Zagreb fighting to keep him this month.
Sky Sports say Premier League bottom side Burnley are in 'advanced talks' over the 29-year-old.
The 14-cap star can play on the left or through the middle, having been with his hometown club since 2018.
And he has been one of Sean Dyche's top targets as the Clarets battle to plug the four-point gap to safety.
Dyche is also being linked with Juventus midfielder Aaron Ramsey.
It's claimed Burnley are keen to borrow the ex-Arsenal hero for the rest of the season.
But the 31-year-old's reported wages of £400,000 a week would be a huge hurdle.
Ramsey is thought to be keen on returning to London with Crystal Palace.
But Gunners' legend and Eagles boss Patrick Vieira has not come in for the Wales ace.

Juve chief Massimiliano Allegri confirmed earlier this month Ramsey is 'outgoing'.
Meanwhile, Newcastle are favourites to land centre-back James Tarkowski - IF Burnley sell him.
Eddie Howe's Magpies have already taken frontman Wood from their relegation rivals.
Now it's understood West Ham and Leicester are backing off from bidding for Tarkowski.
