Burnley are on the verge of securing a deal for Henri Lansbury according to reports.

Sky Sports suggests that the Clarets have had a bid of £4million accepted by Nottingham Forest for the 24-year-old midfielder.

Former Arsenal youngster Lansbury has been a key member of Forest's squad since arriving in 2012 but is now likely to move on with Burnley manager Sean Dyche keen on luring such a player to Turf Moor.

Lansbury, who has had loan spells with Scunthorpe United, Watford, Norwich City and West Ham United, featured in Forest's 1-0 loss to Brighton & Hove Albion in their Championship opener on Friday night.
