Burnley make move for Fletcher

Tue, 30 Jun 16:23:09 2009

Burnley are closing in on Steven Fletcher after agreeing an undisclosed fee with Hibernian for the Scotland striker.

Manager Owen Coyle was beginning talks with the player on Tuesday after being given permission to speak to him.

Fletcher and his representatives have travelled to Turf Moor to discuss personal terms.

The 22-year-old, who has three full caps for Scotland, scored 52 goals in 137 starts during his time at Easter Road.

One report claimed that a fee of around £2.8million, rising to £3.5million, had been agreed, depending on appearances and performances.

Fletcher has four years of his contract to run and new Hibs manager John Hughes hoped he would stay.

Celtic failed to secure his services in January and Fletcher has indicated he would like further his career in England's top flight.
