Burnley are on the verge of signing Jordan Beyer from Borussia Monchengladbach.

According to reports from Florian Plettenberg and Patrick Berger, the 22-year-old has travelled to the UK in order to complete his medical before signing for Vincent Kompany’s side.

The defender will be the 15th addition to the Championship club’s squad this summer, with the Belgian coach overhauling the team that earned relegation under Sean Dyche last season.

Beyer will arrive at Turf Moor on an initial loan basis, but it remains unclear whether Burnley have an option to make the deal permanent at the end of the season.

Beyer has yet to feature for the Bundesliga side this season, but made 17 appearances in the league last year as the team earned a 10th place finish in the German top flight.

The defender has previously spent a stint on loan with Hamburg SV in the 2. Bundesliga, but has found opportunities at Gladbach hard to come by.

A move to Burnley will bolster the team’s defensive options, with Kompany still looking to secure a number of deals before tonight’s 11pm transfer deadline.

The Verdict

Beyer is an exciting talent that could fit in well with Kompany’s squad.

A lot of defensive strength has been added this summer, but it was needed following the departures of Nathan Collins, Ben Mee and James Tarkowski.

It has been a bright start to life at Turf Moor for the former Manchester City defender, with the team having earned 12 points from their opening seven league fixtures.

Attention will now turn to focusing on improving performances and results with the transfer window now finally set to close tonight.
