Connor Roberts, a fullback for Burnley, now appears to have a legitimate chance of signing with Leeds United before the end of the day.
Today’s correspondent is Sacha Tavolieri, a Belgian journalist who provides the most recent information regarding the Clarets’ move on deadline day.
Lorenz Assignon from Rennes is reportedly close to joining Burnley; some rumors even state he has already traveled to England to finalize the deal.
Tavolieri thinks the Clarets ‘will let’ Roberts leave to Leeds because they have a new right-back in the lineup.
At this time, it is unknown how much the Whites will have to pay for the signing or even if it will be a loan or a long-term agreement.
This season, Roberts made 16 appearances for Burnley. He started the Premier League season as a starter but eventually lost it and was only coming on as a substitute.
With Assignon arriving, things would only grow worse for him, which is why returning to the Championship was planned.
We’ll see how much playing time he receives at Leeds going forward and whether or not he has a chance to be purchased.
