Burnley boss Vincent Kompany said he is watching how Dwight McNeil's situation develops "day-by-day" amid Everton's interest in the winger.
Frank Lampard has voiced his concern over the "void" in attacking options at his disposal, a situation worsened by the sale of Richarlison to Tottenham Hotspur. The Blues are now looking at McNeil as a possible solution and discussions over a potential deal are understood to be underway with the Clarets.
Burnley, relegated from the Premier League after Everton's late revival and Leeds United's last day escape, have taken the position they will not stand in the way of any player looking to return to the top flight. Kompany today appeared to accept the sale of some key players may be part of the "reality" of this summer at Turf Moor.
