Burnley midfielder David Jones is the subject of a bid from Sheffield Wednesday.

Wednesday boss Carlos Carvalhal is keen to lure Jones way from Turf Moor as the Owls attempt to make a serious promotion push this season having narrowly missed out in the play-offs in May.

The former England Under 21 International signed a contract extension with the Clarets last summer but had a buyout clause included in his contract, which Wednesday have met.

Carlos Carvalhal believes the 31-year-old can strengthen his side's promotion push

The 31-year old has got four Premier League promotions to his name after going up with Derby, Wolves and with his current club Burnley twice.

Jones also had two years in the top flight under Roberto Martinez at Wigan and had a spell at Burnley's fierce rivals Blackburn Rovers before signing for the Clarets three years ago.

Burnley have already lost midfielder Joey Barton to Rangers since the end of last season, a player who Jones formed an excellent partnership with in the middle of the park.

Clarets boss Sean Dyche is set to fill the gap left by Barton by signing Belgium international Steven Defour this week from Anderlecht could also make a move for Aston Villa's Ashley Westwood if Jones leaves.

Burnley have only managed to add three significant signings to the squad this summer with winger Johann Berg Gudmundsson and goalkeeper Nick Pope both joining from Charlton and full back Jon Flannagan coming in on a season long loan from Liverpool.
