BURNLEY hope to push through a £13million deal to bring in Robbie Brady from Norwich City after the Canaries signed Ajax left-back Mitchell Dijks on loan.

Sunderland are also interested in the Republic of Ireland star, but look likely to pull out of the running for the 25-year-old due to injuries in their attack.

Brady, who is equally adapt playing as a winger, has been at Championship side Norwich since 2015 and has made over 60 appearances since his arrival from Hull City.

He has won 31 caps for his country, including appearances at last year’s Euro 2016, and has hit the net seven times.

Brady came through Manchester United’s youth system before his switch to the KC Stadium in 2013 following two successful loan spells there.
