STVV defender Ameen Al-Dakhil boarded a flight to Manchester at 10am this morning as he closes in on a move to Burnley.
That’s according to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, who says Burnley have pushed for a move this month to avoid paying more in the summer when they may be a Premier League side again.
The Clarets have been keen on Al-Dakhil since the summer but were unable to strike a deal with STVV for the youngster at the time.
They’ve continued to be linked since then and are pushing at the beginning of this month to get a deal over the line.
A report today made it clear that an agreement was now in place and the player had flown for a medical and Tavolieri now provides an update on that.
Indeed he is on his way to Burnley for a medical after catching a flight to Manchester at 10am this morning, with an announcement probably on the way.
