Lukaku's cousin a target for Burnley, Huddersfield?

Boli Mbombo, cousin of Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku, is reportedly a target for both Burnley and Huddersfield Town.

The 23-year-old left-back came up through the ranks at Club Brugge in his native Belgium and moved to Austrian side Rapid Vienna two years ago.

According to The Sun, scouts from clubs across Europe have been keeping an eye on his progress over the last two seasons and several bids are expected this summer following an underwhelming domestic season for Vienna.

The newspaper says that Sean Dyche's side are looking for cover and competition for Charlie Taylor at left-back, while the Terriers are keen on Mbombo as they look to mount a push for promotion back to the Premier League at the first time of asking.

Mbombo, who could be available for just £3m this summer, has two years remaining on his current deal with Vienna.
