Fleetwood defender James Hill a target for Burnley

Fleetwood defender James Hill is a target for Burnley.

The Sun says the Clarets are keen to win the chase and are lining up an offer of about £2million for the youngster, who is regularly playing League One football.

Hill, 19, is running out of contract and the Cod Army may cash in now.

They could take their chances at a tribunal if he leaves in the summer but an earlier, clean sale may be better for them.

The defender made his senior debut for Fleetwood in the EFL Cup in 2018, aged 16.

Hill first appeared for the Three Lions U-20s against Romania in September.

Burnley have centre-half Bobby Thomas, 20, to send the other way on loan, which could help the move go through.
