Belgian football journalist Sacha Tavolieri confirmed that the Clarets and Ipswich Town are in advance talks concerning the South African striker transfer deal.

The details of the deal include Ipswich Town having an obligation to sign the former Westerlo star permanently for €30 million at the end of his loan spell.

The contract talks have yet to be completed, but they're expected to be finalised before the transfer window closes on Friday, August 30.

Ipswich Town have not registered a point since the beginning of the 2024-25 Premier League, as they lost to both Liverpool and Manchester City in their opening two games.
