Sam Clucas is set to undergo a medical at Burnley as his £8million exit from Swansea City moves closer to completion.

The Clarets submitted a bid for midfielder on Thursday, and the former Hull player has travelled to Lancashire with a view to completing that switch over the weekend.

His exit will hopefully clear the way for Swansea to finally wrap up a move for Brentford’s Ryan Woods following elongated talks between the two clubs over a £6million transfer.

Clucas, 27, joined Swansea less than a year ago in a £15million deal which saw Stephen Kingsley move the other way.

But he struggled for game time under Paul Clement, who openly-admitted he was unsure of where Clucas would fit into his side.

He saw more action under Carlos Carvalhal but, aside from his two-goal showing in the win over Arsenal, rarely found form.

However, even that double against the Gunners was mired in controversy as his celebration was said to mimic the logo of a website containing pornographic content and saw the Football Association launch an investigation.

Swansea and Clucas insisted the player had no knowledge of any link between his celebration and the site, but he was “reminded of his responsibilities”.

There were also concerns about his attitude in some quarters, meaning Swansea and new manager Graham Potter have been more than prepared to move him on.
