Burnley and Championship leaders Derby County are tracking Ecuador youngster Junior Sornoza.
The Daily Mail says Independiente striker Sornoza has been likened to Real Madrid's James Rodriguez as he can play as a second striker, on the left wing or as an attacking midfielder yet is available for around £3.5million. Importantly, he is also a regular for Ecuador so will meet work permit criteria.
Ecuador teammates West Ham's Enner Valencia and Antonio Valencia of Manchester United have already encouraged him to make the move and his agents are due in England over the coming weeks to talk to interested parties.
Burnley do not want to spend big in January and will look at loans in the main but they are interested as the price falls within their budget and Sornoza would represent good sell-on value.
