Burnley are closing on a deal for Southampton midfielder James Ward-Prowse.

The Sun says the Clarets are close to agreeing a £15million move for Ward-Prowse.

Watford made an offer for the ex-England Under-21 midfielder but the Clarets are now in pole position to land him.

Ward-Prowse, 23, has spent his whole career at St Mary's.

He started more than half of Saints' games in the Premier League last season and scored three goals.
