BURNLEY boss Sean Dyche has made a new £8million bid for Swansea midfielder Sam Clucas - and hopes to sign him by the weekend.

Dyche put in an offer that the relegated Welsh club found acceptable as Graham Potter looks to spend on his own targets.

The Clarets have been long term admirers of versatile Clucas.

And they hope to agree terms with him quickly and have a medical to check on his recent injury.

Clucas is desperate to stay in the top flight after going down with Hull and Swansea in successive seasons.

Swans want cash to finance a raid on Brentford for unsettled skipper Ryan Woods who may cost around £7m.

Woods is looking for a lucrative deal and will settle for a Championship club with a bigger budget than the Bees.

Burnley have also made an enquiry over Fraser Forster.

Dyche has asked about the Southampton goalkeeper following injury to Nick Pope last week.

Pope could miss SIX MONTHS with a dislocated shoulder suffered in the Europa League clash against Aberdeen.
