Hellas Verona striker Joel Mumbongo trialling with Burnley

Swedish striker Joel Mumbongo is trialling with Burnley.

Lancs Live reports Mumbongo has linked up with Burnley on trial but no deal with the 19-year-old has been completed.

The frontman has joined Steve Stone's Under-23 side in Poland but has not signed for the club.

Mumbongo, who was with Verona's youth team in Italy last season, could join the Clarets if he impresses but a move is far from certain.

Reports surfaced on social media of the forward at Burnley's training ground with an Instagram account Be The Best Youth Project claiming he had signed a deal for the Clarets but club sources say that is not the case.
