Lightbulb Burnley grab Charlton double

Burnley close on Charlton duo - - (July 18 2016)

Burnley are closing in on their first signings ahead of their return to the Premier League with a double raid on Charlton, according to Sky sources.

Icelandic winger Johann Berg Gudmundsson and goalkeeper Nick Pope are expected to undergo medicals in the North West in the next 24 hours ahead of signing for Sean Dyche's team.

Sky sources reported last week that the Clarets had agreed a £2.5m fee for Gudmundsson, who is on his summer break after starting every game of Iceland's run to the quarter-finals of Euro 2016.

The 25-year-old has been at Charlton since July 2014, scoring 16 goals in 81 appearances.

Dyche has been frustrated in his bid to strengthen his side for top-flight football, with moves for Derby midfielder Jeff Hendrick and Brighton's Dale Stephens failing to materialise, while Joey Barton left the club to join Rangers.

He has made just one signing so far this summer, with Jamie Thomas joining from Bolton on a free transfer.
