Burnley would be open to cashing in on Connor Roberts during the January transfer window to fund January additions at Turf Moor, according to an update from the Daily Mirror (10/1; 2:09pm).
The Welshman was one of the first names on the teamsheet last term, as the Clarets managed to seal a return to the Premier League at the first time of asking.
His contributions in all thirds of the pitch helped Vincent Kompany’s side and enhanced their chances of securing that promotion, with his impact meaning he was able to keep others including Vitinho out of the starting lineup.
But the latter seems to have overtaken Roberts in the pecking order recently, with the Wales international starting the season in the first 11 but spending some time on the bench recently.
This has increased speculation about his future at Turf Moor, with his contract running out next year.
He may still have 18 months left on his contract, but the Clarets seem to be willing to see him depart if they can bring in other targets.
