Burnley reportedly join Preston North End and Coventry City in £1.5m transfer chase
The identity of the thrid Championship club interested in the £1.5m star has been revealed.
Preston North End face competition from another Championship rival in the race to sign Ilay Camara.
Earlier this week, the LEP reported that North End were considering a move for RWDM Molenbeek wing-back Camara. The Lilywhites are keen on a permanent move, though a loan with an option-to-buy has also been discussed in the initial talks to bring the player to Deepdale.
PNE face competition from their Lancashire rivals Burnley, however. That is according to Belgium-based journalist Sacha Tavolieri - who says that PNE, along with Coventry City and the Clarets are 'very interested' in his profile. French side Stade de Reims, previously managed by former Preston academy coach Will Still, are also considering him as an option.
Burnley are currently without a permanent manager, with Craig Bellamy placed in charge of first-team affairs after Vincent Kompany's departure to Bayern Munich. The Dutch media are reporting that Ruud van Nistelrooy is close to agreeing a deal to become the next manager at Turf Moor though.
Coventry, Preston's other reported competitor for Camara meanwhile, are spending £4m to sign New Zealand midfielder Marko Stamenic. The Sky Blues have agreed a fee in that region to sign Stamenic - who played in the Champions League last season for Red Star Belgrade.
It's understood that Camara would cost around £1.5-2million to sign. North End are hopeful of making four or five signings this summer, should no players depart. A new centre-back and midfielder are also on the list along with a wide player.
