Report: Burnley to complete £3.5m signing of Barnsley defender Marc Roberts

Barnsley defender Marc Roberts is to complete a £3.5m move to Burnley in the coming days, according to reports.

Burnley have agreed a fee in the region of £3.5m for Barnsley defender Marc Roberts, according to reports.

The 26-year-old has impressed this season in the Championship having joined the South Yorkshire club from non-league side Halifax Town in 2015.

According to The Guardian, Clarets boss Sean Dyche needs cover for centre-backs Michael Keane and Ben Mee with Kevin Long out injured, and feels that Roberts has the ability to make the step up.

Barnsley-born Roberts, who began his career at Wakefield before spells at Worksop Town and Buxton, has 18 months left on his Tykes contract.
