Burnley are set to be sold to ALK Capital by the New Year.

ALK Capital aim to complete their £200MILLION takeover of Burnley before the end of the year, says The Sun.

The US firm want to plough money in to help Sean Dyche strengthen his squad in the January transfer window.

And they are now in pole position to take charge at Turf Moor.

This is ahead of a consortium led by sports lawyer Chris Farnell and businessman Mohamed El Kashashy.

ALK head Alan Pace is expected to take over at the helm if the final details can be thrashed out in the coming weeks.

Current chairman Mike Garlick is set to stay on in some capacity while the club's new owners find their feet.
