Christian Eriksen is a target for Burnley while trying to build a team that can survive in the Premier League this season.
The DANE left Manchester United at the end of last season, but has extensive top experience, winning four league titles and two domestic cups in a career in the Netherlands, England and Italy, and is a very attractive option as a free agent. It is thought that the Clarets made the first contact during the move.
Mail Sport revealed last month that Eriksen had rejected a daring approach last month of the newly promoted championship club Wrexham.
The 33-year-old also had offers from Turkey, in particular from Fenerbahce, where he would again connect with Jose Mourinho, as well as Besiktas and Trabzonspor, but the wish of Eriksen is to stay in Western Europe.
That is why offers from Brazil, the Middle East and the United States, are probably not accepted at this stage. However, Eriksen is interested in clubs in Germany and Spain.
Burnley was automatically promoted together with Leeds from the second layer of the last term and are determined to make a better fist of things than two years ago, when they have direct relegation members under Vincent Kompany.
Just like Eriksen, the current Burnley -Baas Scott Parker for Tottenham played, but left in the summer of 2013, days before Eriksen arrived from Ajax.
Last month the representative of Eriksen Martin Schoots told Mail Sport: 'Christian still wants to play in a first competition and he absolutely wants to stay in Western Europe. There are some contacts going on, but it must fit on both sides. '
Burnley spent a little more than £ 60 million this summer on eight new players and will expect to do more business before the window closes next month.
