Earlier on Monday, Foot Mercato broke the news about Burnley being close on signing Zeki Amdouni from FC Basel.
It was claimed there were advanced discussions for the centre-forward to join the Clarets, as he was ‘seduced’ by the chance of making the move.
That means Basel is making a big profit with Amdouni. The Swiss side had him on loan from Lausanne-Sport last season, and just made his move permanent for only €4m.
Since they had just bought the player and saw him signing a four-year contract, they were obviously in a very favourable position to make a big request.
Now Burnley adds an exciting centre-forward to the squad, with him having scored 22 goals in the last season for Basel.
