A report claims that Burnley are close to securing the loan services of Tottenham Hotspur's young midfielder Alex Pritchard.

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly agreed to loan Alex Pritchard out to Burnley for the remainder of the season.

The midfielder has recently returned to fitness from an ankle injury and initial suggestions claimed that he would form a part of Mauricio Pochettino's senior squad at White Hart Lane.

However, according to Sky Sports News, Spurs have now decided that the 22-year-old is much more likely to feature on a regular basis at Turf Moor.

The report adds that Burnley have beaten off competition from a number of clubs in the Premier League and Championship to secure the youngster's services.
