Burnley want to keep Stephane Sessegnon in England.
The striker was allowed to come off contract at West Brom last summer and remains a free agent.
Sessegnon has fielded interest from France, but Burnley boss Sean Dyche is also keen.
Talks between the two parties have now kicked off over a move to Turf Moor for Sessegnon.
The PSG star was brought to England by Sunderland.
