Chelsea first-team outcast Ross Barkley has emerged on the transfer radar at Turf Moor with Burnley looking at the midfielder as a possible loan signing in the January window.
The 27-year-old Barkley has been frozen out at Stamford Bridge by Thomas Tuchel and the Chelsea manager is unlikely to turn down any offers coming his way for the player when the transfer window reopens.
Barkley has clocked just seven minutes of Premier League football this new season for the Blues and will be backed to secure a move elsewhere to get his career back on track after his fall down the pecking order with Chelsea.

Reports from The Sun indicate that Sean Dyche’s Burnley are tipped as prime candidates for landing the former Everton man in January and are willing to pay a chunk of his sizable weekly wages for the second half of the 2021-22 campaign.
The Clarets have endured a struggling start to the new season and find themselves in the drop zone at the 18th place in the league standings with three points separating them from 17th-placed Leeds United.
