Burnley set to land Forest midfielder Lansbury

Burnley are closing on a deal for Nottingham Forest midfielder Henri Lansbury.

The Daily Mail says Lansbury will not sign a new contract at Nottingham Forest and is set to instead join Burnley in a deal worth around £3.5million as he looks to fulfil his ambition for Premier League football.

Forest owner Fawaz Al-Hasawi has challenged Lansbury, 23, to put pen to paper on a deal first offered in February but it is understood that the terms are significantly less than other team-mates and he has informed manager Stuart Pearce of his intention to leave.
