Burnley have made a late move for Anderlecht forward Sofiane Hanni, who had a medical with Spartak Moscow yesterday.
The Anderlecht captain, who scored a hat-trick in his last outing, is almost certain leave the club in the winter window and he seemed Russian bound until recently.
He travelled to Russia yesterday and underwent a medical with Spartak Moscow ahead of a proposed transfer but the two clubs are yet to reach a definitive agreement.
And it seems a Premier League side have made a late move to scupper Spartak Moscow’s hopes of signing Hanni as according to Het Nieuwsblad, Burnley have entered the chase for the forward.
Despite a medical with the Russian outfit, his transfer to Spartak Moscow is highly uncertain at the moment because of Burnley’s late maneuver to sign the Algerian on deadline day.
