Burnley close in on £7m swoop for Dinamo Zagreb winger Mislav Orsic

Burnley are closing in on the £7m capture of Dinamo Zagreb winger Mislav Orsic.

The Clarets have been in talks with Dinamo Zagreb over a deal for the Croatian attacker and are now increasingly optimistic of bringing him to Turf Moor following progress in the negotiations.

Orsic is into his fourth season at Dinamo Zagreb and has racked up an impressive scoring record, netting 67 times in 168 appearances.

He scored the winner for Dinamo Zagreb in their Europa League win at West Ham in December to send them through to the next round.

If they can get a deal over the line, Orsic will bolster a Burnley attack that has lost Chris Wood this month following his £25m move to Newcastle.

Asked about his transfer plans following Sunday’s dogged goalless draw at Arsenal, Dyche said: ‘We are always looking for quality but it costs a lot money.

‘If we have a lot of money then we will buy quality, if we haven’t we will buy players we think can add to the quality in different ways.’
