Motherwell defender Max Johnston is set to be offered a route to the English Premier League with Burnley. The 19-year-old is enjoying an astonishing breakthrough year at Fir Park having returned from a loan at Cove Rangers in January and hit the ground running.
He's been a key part of Stuart Kettlewell's revival and caught the eye with a superb assist for Kevin van Veen against Rangers at the weekend.
Burnley are 13 points clear at top of the Championship under Vincent Kompany and while they are currently under a transfer embargo, that is expected to be lifted soon with their promotion to the top flight imminent.
And they are ready to make their move for Johnston who is out oc contract in the summer. The Lancashire outfit already have one eye on looking to the future and the Scotland under-21 cap is very much one who is on their radar.
