Oly Clegg News Today

Town target Charlie Austin is widely reported to have agreed to join Burnley on a three-and-a-half-year deal, subject to a medical. The Swindon striker was at Portman Road for talks yesterday but was unable to agree terms with the Blues.

Town chief executive Simon Clegg says he is keeping to the club’s usual policy of not commenting on transfer speculation until deals are done. The Blues are currently in talks with Sunderland after the Black Cats made an offer of £9 million plus a further £4 million in additional clauses for striker Connor Wickham with sources in the North-East claiming Town have accepted that fee.
