Hoffenheim winger Jacob Bruun Larsen is due for a medical at Burnley today ahead of joining them on loan for a season.
The Burnley boss is looking to make more additions to his squad and has been scouring the loan market for options.
He is keen to add more attacking depth to his squad and Burnley are closing in on signing one more player this summer.
According to German broadcaster Sky Deutschland, Larsen is set to undergo a medical at Burnley ahead of joining the club.
The Clarets have a deal in place to sign the winger from Hoffenheim on a season-long loan.
He has signed a one-year extension with the German club ahead of his proposed loan move to Burnley.
It is unclear whether Burnley have an option to buy in the loan agreement with Hoffenheim.

Concerning update emerges as Millwall chase deal for Burnley player
Reports suggest Millwall’s pursuit of Burnley defender Luke McNally is not currently progressing.
The club have so far managed to make four additions to their squad ahead of the 2023/24 campaign, whilst also not losing
any of their best players.
Indeed, Belgian midfielder Casper De Norre and Scottish centre-forward Kevin Nisbet have signed for fees, whilst full-backs
Joe Bryan and Wes Harding have joined on free transfers.
One man that has so far evaded Gary Rowett and the Lions, though, is Burnley central defender Luke McNally.
The club were first linked to McNally earlier this month.
What has been said about Millwall and Luke McNally?
The reports linking Millwall with a move for McNally first emerged on July 2nd, with Alan Nixon via his Patreon report,
revealing that Millwall were eyeing an ambitious bid for the defender, and set to rival Coventry City for his signature.
McNally spent the second half of the season on loan with the Sky Blues, who were also reported to be keen to get him back.
At the time, Nixon claimed that Burnley were willing to allow him to head out on loan, with the Lions ready to ‘snap him up’.
Since then, though, there have been a few worrying updates on the matter.
Nixon reported in mid July that Coventry were looking to push ahead of Millwall to get a deal done, for example, reporting
at that time that the Sky Blues were eyeing a permanent deal.
It was reported that Millwall would find it hard to raise the cash to do a permanent deal, instead preferring a loan.
What is the latest update on Burnley and Luke McNally?
Interestingly, the latest update on the matter also comes courtesy of Alan Nixon, this time via Twitter.
When asked by a supporter about the McNally to Millwall deal, Nixon revealed: “It’s not progressing. Maybe time to go
elsewhere.”
With just days to go until the Championship campaign kicks off, this is a rather concerning update for Millwall supporters
who were hoping the club would get a deal done ahead of the new season.
Not only does it not look like that will happen, it may not happen at all if Nixon is suggesting it may be time for Millwall to
move on and seemingly consider other targets.
Interestingly, it was reported recently that Burnley offered McNally to Coventry City permanently on a player plus cash basis
in order to try and get a deal done for Sky Blues midfielder Gus Hamer.
Coventry rejected this deal, though, so McNally’s future remains up in the air.
How long does Luke McNally have left on his Burnley contract?
Any club looking to take McNally away from Burnley this summer is going to have to meet the Clarets’ demands given the
defender’s current contract situation.
Having only joined the club last summer, McNally inked a long-term deal at Turf Moor, seeing him tied down there until the
summer of 2026.
This means that his future is well and truly in Burnley’s hands this summer.
