Significant update emerges around Burnley’s interest in Championship midfielder

Burnley have had several bids to sign Coventry City midfielder Callum O’Hare knocked back, a report from Football Insider has claimed.

O’Hare enjoyed an impressive campaign for the Sky Blues last season, scoring five goals and providing eight assists in 45 Championship games as the club finished 12th in the second-tier standings.

However, the Sky Blues are said to be braced for another offer to come in from Burnley before the summer transfer window closes, and are previously reported to have placed on £5million valuation on O’Hare.

As things stand, there are still two years remaining on O’Hare’s contract with Coventry, securing his future at The CBS Arena until the end of the 2023/24 season.
