According to , the Clarets are in talks to bring the winger to the club for £15million.

 

Wilson chipped in with seven goals in 31 Premier League games for Bournemouth last season, but was unable to help them beat the drop.

And the 23-year-old could be joined by Stephens at Turf Moor, with Sky stating the Clarets will fork out £1m to secure his services.

Burnley are known to be long-term admirers of the midfielder, having had six bids rejected for him in 2016.

It has been claimed that the ex-Charlton ace is in London finalising the paperwork having completed a medical.

Sean Dyche has confirmed the club are set to announce the arrival of the Seagulls midfielder after the club's 2-0 win against Millwall in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.

Speaking of his imminent arrival, Dyche said: "We think that one's there, just dotting the i's and crossing the t's.

"He's a player I've liked historically, he obviously fits with the financial thinking at the minute, but he's a player that we do like, he's an experienced player.

"I've tried to sign him in the past, and I often have stuck with targets I've managed to get here eventually.

"We wish him all the best when he comes in, it's not done, but it more or less is done. I can't see there'll be anything at this time that will stop it.

"He brings a calmness, experience, composure, he's been through quite a few managers there so he's had a good experience of different ways of working."
