One name recently emerging onto the Clarets' radar is Bart Verbruggen of Anderlecht, with The Sun reporting that Kompany could raid his former club.

Could Burnley sign Verbruggen?

It's claimed that Anderlecht are looking for £15m for the goalkeeper's service this summer, with Burnley and Liverpool interested.

Arijanet Muric is currently Burnley's No.1 and has played 36 times in the Championship this season. However, Verbruggen is seen as one of the best young goalkeepers across Europe and the thought of him arriving at Turf Moor has the Burnley fans excited:

Despite that positivity, others are struggling to see Burnley pull off what would be such a good move.
