Premier League new-boys Burnley are chasing Wigan Athletic midfielder James McArthur.
The Daily Mail says Clarets boss Sean Dyche would prefer to recruit players with Premier League or English experience and McArthur is a player ready to step back into the top flight after missing out this summer. Everton manager Roberto Martinez is also an admirer.
McArthur, 26, has two years left on his current deal and Wigan may not sell cheaply but will recognise the player's desire to play in the top flight. A bid in the region of £5m plus add-ons could set the ball rolling.
