Burnley FC is close to officially announcing the signing deal with defender Kyle Walker, a player from Manchester City, in a surprising move during the current summer transfer window.

According to journalist David Ornstein, the 35-year-old player is preparing to undergo medical examinations in anticipation of completing his transfer to Burnley on a two-year contract.

The source added that the deal will cost Burnley approximately £5 million.

It is expected that the deal will save Manchester City around £10 million, due to shedding the player's salary and some associated costs.

This signing is considered one of Burnley's most significant moves this summer, as the club's management seeks to strengthen the team's ranks with considerable experience before the new season begins.
