Franco-Senegalese midfielder Andy Diouf’s potential move to newly promoted Premier League outfit Burnley is in jeopardy, according to reports in the media.
Diouf is likely to depart Lens this summer, having attracted a significant interest from the Premier League, with Burnley and Palace jostling for his signature.
Despite Burnley reaching an agreement to sign Diouf for a transfer fee worth €18m, the 22-year-old midfielder favours a move to Crystal Palace, who has been a long-term target for the club.
The enterprising midfielder has yet to give the green light to the move to Turf Moor, with Burnley reportedly frustrated over the delay in the player’s acquisition.
Andy Diouf’s entourage are unhappy with Burnley’s ultimatum, with the move risks falling through.
Meanwhile, the 22-year-old midfielder’s current contract with RC Lens is due to expire in the summer of 2028.
