Deadline Day: What fans should expect on the final day of the transfer window
By Varun Aithal
Burnley to conclude signings on the final day
If any manager has to be applauded for keeping their team up in the English top-flight despite spending almost no money, it has to be Sean Dyche.
The manager has spent less than €15 million in his 30 months at Burnley. With new owners at the club, we can expect Burnley to add a few players in the final hours of the transfer window.
Dyche in search of a central defender and has Stoke City’s Nathan Collins on his radar.

Their initial bid was rejected by the Championship outfit with transfer pundits expecting them to demand more for the player.
The Clarets were also linked with Preston-North End defender Ben Davies but must now look for another target if Collins falls through, as Davies on his way to Anfield to complete a £2m deal.
It remains interesting to see how Burnley will approach the transfer window going into the final day. On the other hand, Burnley are rumored to want Everton full-back, Jonjoe Kenny, as well.
Everton have requested a price of £10 million for Kenny and it has prevented the Clarets from finalizing the transfer. Burnley are expected to revisit the transfer on Monday.
