Brentford manager Thomas Frank faces a battle if he is to hold onto striker Neal Maupay, with Burnley joining Sevilla, Aston Villa and Sheffield United in the race to sign the 22-year-old, according to the Daily Mail.

Maupay is a hot property having chipped in with an impressive 28 goals for the Bees during the last campaign, whilst also recording eight assists.

But would Maupay make it into the current Burnley starting XI?

We discuss........

Toby Wilding

"I think he would.

"Maupay has shown himself to be a natural finisher this season, which is something that Burnley may need to add to their lineup if they are to pull away from the Premier League's bottom three again next season, so they could be calling on the Frenchman regularly in the coming months.

"Given the prices that are being bandied around for Maupay, it would also seem ridiculous for Burnley, or any other club for that matter, to pay such an amount for him only to then keep him sat on the bench for much of the season."

Kealan Hughes

"Burnley lack a natural goalscorer so Maupay could easily slot in alongside either Ashley Barnes or Chris Wood.

"He would have to start well however as the Premier League is uncompromising and if he struggles for goals Sean Dyche will quickly look to other options, particularly as Maupay doesn't really suit his style.

"It is a change for Burnley to target this type of player, and one that could see them play a more passing, expansive style. Maupay will rely on the service he is given and Burnley will need to adapt to suit him if he is to be a real success."

Gary Hutchinson

“Yes, I think he would.

“I can’t see him being their sort of player though. They do lots of work without the ball and that isn’t his game.

“He likes it at his feet, players around him, looking for openings.

“He’s definitely a Premier League striker, but I suspect another club would suit him better.”

Louie Chandler

"I am not sure he would.

"Frankly, this seems like a very strange move and one that Maupay should think very carefully about.

"Moving from Brentford to Burnley is about as dramatic a shift that you can take in footballing styles in England.

"So the fact he has thrived in a Brentford system is no guarantee of success in Sean Dyche's more agricultural set-up."
