Burnley's contract negotiations with Andre Gray are at an impasse over the striker's demands for £70,000 per week.

Gray has one year left on his current deal worth around £25,000 per week and he is now looking for vastly improved terms.

But Burnley keep a tight rein on budgets and would have to shatter their wage structure to accommodate Gray.

Sean Dyche steered the club to top-flight safety with one of the division's smallest wage bills

Sean Dyche steered the club to Premier League safety with one of the division's smallest wage bills and the current top earner is thought to be Robbie Brady on £35,000 per week.

Gray's representatives though believe money from the vast new television deal should filter down to players and have set their sights high during initial discussions.

Talks have since stalled, with other Premier League clubs said to be considering approaches of around £10million. Everton and Tottenham have monitored his situation but are thought to have cooled interest recently, with West Ham emerging as a potential destination.

It remains possible Gray stays without signing fresh terms, raising the prospect of a free transfer next summer.

He showed top-flight ability last term with nine Premier League goals as well as one FA Cup strike.
