Relegated Burnley FC believes they are in the box seat to land Hearts winger Andy Driver ahead of Chelsea FC and Wigan Athletic.
The Lancashire Telegraph claims the Clarets look set to make it third time lucky after seeing two attempts to sign the talented young winger during the previous two summers fail.
It seems a club record £3 million record fee could be agreed next week.
Oldham-born Driver, who is under contract at Tynecastle until 2013, is keen to make his mark as a first team regular if he moves south of the border.
He also sees the move as a way of boosting his chances of becoming a full Scotland international.
