Burnley are interested in Chelsea midfielder Ross Barkley.

The Sun says Barkley is only getting limited game time at Stamford Bridge and could be available for loan in the next window.

Barkley, 27, was on Sean Dyche's radar in the summer.

But there was no encouragement from the player's end so soon after a return from a loan at Aston Villa.

Burnley are prepared to pay a chunk of his massive salary for half a season to help them out of the drop zone.

And unless Chelsea are hit by an injury crisis, Barkley seems sure to be available.
