Leicester battling to keep Burnley target Albrighton

Burnley remain in the hunt for Leicester City midfielder Marc Albrighton.

The Sun says Burnley are still in pursuit of Albrighton, 31, but Leicester do not want to lose him and may offer a new deal to make him stay.

Albrighton - a key man in the Foxes side that won the Premier League in 2016 - struggled for game time last season.

And manager Sean Dyche believes he can lure the 31-year-old to Turf Moor because he has just 12 months left on his contract.

Dyche is keen to line up an extra wide player after failing to win the race for Ashley Young when he chose to return to Aston Villa instead.

The Clarets are set to sign former Rangers midfielder Ciaran Dickson, 18, though.
