Premier League trio Everton, Manchester City and Newcastle United reportedly want McNeil while Burnley are looking at Besiktas winger Yalcin.

Burnley are interested in signing Besiktas starlet Guven Yalcin at the end of the season, as reported by Takvim.

The German-born winger is coming to the end of a fine debut campaign at the Istanbul outfit, scoring five goals in Besiktas colours after his 2018 arrival from Bayer Leverkusen.

And Yalcin could soon be on the move again with Burnley reported to be interested in the 20-year-old, who has shone on the left-hand side of the attack under Senol Gunes in the Turkish Super Lig.

Takvim claims that Sean Dyche’s Clarets are keen. Yalcin, who has represented Turkey at U19 level, has also been lined up for a return to Germany with Wolfsburg and Freiburg both preparing offers.

Speculation linking Yalcin with a move to Burnley, however, could raise fears that Dwight McNeil could be on his way out of Turf Moor in the summer.

Like Yalcin, McNeil is a highly-rated left winger and The Daily Star claimed this week that he is a target for Manchester City, Everton and Newcastle United on the back of a fine breakthrough season in the Premier League.

Could Yalcin be his replacement?
