Burnley are on the brink of signing Brighton midfielder Dale Stephens.

The Athletic says Burnley are poised to complete the signing of Stephens from Brighton in a £2.5 million deal.

The 31-year-old is set to pen a two-year deal with the Clarets, who will pay £1m up front and a further £1.5m in add-ons.

It brings an end to Stephens' six-year spell with the Seagulls, making 223 appearances, before joining Sean Dyche's side.
