Lucky Burnley fans invited to attend open training session at Gawthorpe
On Friday morning the Clarets invited club partners and lucky mascot winners to their Gawthorpe training base to watch the first-team in action.
New head coach Scott Parker and his staff put the players through their paces as the supporters watched on from the sidelines.
Burnley boss Scott Parker could lose one of his midfielders after a club slapped in an official offer, with the player keen on making the move.
Parker has big decisions to make on a number of players this summer as Burnley get ready for a campaign in the Championship.
What Parker’s views are on keeping midfielder Sander Berge are unclear, but now Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce have bid for him.
Mourinho is keen on having the six-foot-five-inch midfielder in his Fenerbahce team next season.
The Yellow Canaries have now firmed up their interest in Berge and slapped in an official offer, according to Turkish outlet Fotomac.
The amount involved in the bid though remains to be revealed.
Berge, on his part, is keen on the move to Turkey where he will get the chance to play under the Portuguese manager.
The 26-year-old missed just one Premier League game for Vincent Kompany’s team last season but his contributions were not enough to keep Burney’s Premier League status.
The Clarets had a bit of a delay to their summer as their search for a new manager took longer than anticipated before leading them to Scott Parker. But the club is now making up for it and they have signed six new players for the upcoming campaign.
One of those additions is a goalkeeper in Vaclav Hladky, but even with that addition, Burnley are being linked with a move for another shot-stopper in the form of Mark Travers.
The Clarets have seen three goalkeepers leave the club over the course of this summer, with Arijanet Muric joining Ipswich Town, Bailey Peacock-Farrell going to Birmingham City, and Lawrence Vigouroux signing for Swansea City.
