Burnley push to sign Montpellier defender Maxime Esteve

Burnley aim to sign Montpellier defender Maxime Esteve today.

BBC Sport says the Clarets are working on signing Esteve before tomorrow's transfer deadline.

Burnley boss Vincent Kompany said on Tuesday: "All I can say is that he's not our player at the moment.

I think we're past the point where I can deny there has been interest, right? But the point is he's not our player."

Lille, meanwhile, have failed with a loan offer for Burnley winger Anass Zaroury.
