Burnley chief executive David Baldwin has revealed that the club is expecting to receive a huge compensation fee from Liverpool for Danny Ings.

Ings joined Liverpool over the summer after his contract with Burnley expired but the Clarets are entitled to earn a compensation fee from the Reds as the striker was under the age of 24 during the time of the transfer.

A decision by the tribunal has not yet been made regarding what amount the Reds should pay to the Clarets but the Championship leaders' chief Baldwin has revealed that his side are set to receive a huge fee he suggests could be a record.

Baldwin said during a Burnley fan forum: "The reason it is different to the ordinary is this tribunal claim will be the biggest in history.

"The key to this was that we bring the claim against Liverpool, therefore we had to prepare an extremely robust case.

"You're talking a documentation bundle of probably in excess of 400 or 500 pages... With witness statements, evidence, analytics about player performance, the statement as to why we make a judgement as to what we believe the player is worth, compared to what Liverpool want to offer.

"You get your ducks in a row and do the job right. It could have been any time during March or April but availability of legal counsel for both parties has dictated the later date. They are both working on other cases and they are not just dealing specifically with cases of sports law."
