Marseille welcome Burnley interest for Gueye

Burnley are ready to move for Olympique Marseille midfielder Pape Gueye.

The Sun says the Clarets plan to offer 17m for Gueye, who pulled out of a move to Watford two years ago.

Burnley boss Vincent Kompany will still need to convince Gueye about the move given the club's relegation battle this season.

However, OM will encourage the move given Gueye's contract is set to enter it's final six months.

OM would prefer to sell than offer the midfielder a new deal.
