Burnley are favourites for AS Monaco striker Frederic Nimani.

The Mirror says Burnley boss Brian Laws has flown in Nimani for talks - and could snap up the France Under-21 hitman on loan.

Giant Nimani is out of favour at Monaco and Laws is open to the idea of increasing his options in his attack - with David Nugent's loan from Portsmouth expiring at the end of the week.

Nimani has also been interesting Birmingham, but he thinks he has a better chance of making a first-team impact at Turf Moor.
