Burnley are reportedly edging closer to signing TSG Hoffenheim forward Jacob Bruun Larsen.

He was used across the attacking line last season but saw his game time limited as he clocked in less than 500 minutes from 15 games. This would have convinced the Bundesliga side to allow Bruun Larsen to join the Clarets.

That’s according to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, who took to Twitter to state Burnley will take the 24-year-old on a season-long loan deal.

He says the Denmark international has ‘already carried out’ the formalities before joining his new club. This would indicate the versatile player has completed his medical tests with Burnley.

The journalist adds Bruun Larsen has started training with his new Burnley teammates in Portugal, where the English club have been on pre-season tour.

Vincent Kompany’s side beat Benfica in a friendly tie in Lisbon on Wednesday and will face Real Betis tomorrow in Spain.

Tavolieri insists it’s a ‘done deal’ and the newly promoted Premier League side are ‘soon’ set to announce Bruun Larsen’s arrival.

He makes no mention whether Burnley would have an option or obligation to make the Dane’s stay permanent.
