Burnley close to deal to sign Gray from Brentford

Burnley appear to be closing in on a deal to sign Andre Gray.

The Clarets made their move after Brentford striker Gray, 24, rejected a move to Bristol City after the Robins had an offer for him accepted.

Hull City have also been trying to sign him but have been unable to agree a fee with Brentford.

But Burnley are close to reaching an agreement with the Bees, who signed Gray from Luton Town last summer.

He scored 18 goals in his first season in the Championship, helping Brentford reach the play-offs.
