After being promoted to the Premier League, Burnley allegedly had Kyogo on their list of desired transfers.The manager of

the Clarets, Vincent Kompany, has already developed a list of players he wishes to recruit to Turf Moor as he

looks to make an impact after securing a berth in the top flight after winning the Championship title. After the team was

unable to acquire Southampton attacker Nathan Tella, who they had on loan the previous season, Kyogo, 28, is thought to be on that list.

Kyogo scored 34 goals across all competitions last season, so he would demand a large amount if the Hoops are even open to

considering an offer.
