Burnley close in on Nathan Baker?

A report claims that Burnley are on the verge of signing Nathan Baker from Aston Villa in a £2m deal.

Burnley have reportedly entered advanced negotiations to sign Aston Villa defender Nathan Baker.

Recent speculation has suggested that Clarets boss Sean Dyche was keen to bolster his options at centre-back following the departure of Jason Shackell to Derby County.

According to the Lancashire Evening Telegraph, 24-year-old Baker has been identified as the ideal player to fill the void, with a £2m deal now close to completion.

Baker, who has risen through the ranks at Villa Park, made 13 appearances in all competitions last term.
