Ex-Sunderland target Jordan Gabriel is reportedly wanted by Burnley following their relegation to the Championship.
The full-back was linked with a move to the Stadium of Light last summer but opted to join Neil Critchley in the second tier after helping the team win promotion whilst on loan with the Tangerines.

According to The Sun, incoming Burnley boss Vincent Kompany is keen on a move for Gabriel, who only moved to Blackpool permanently from Nottingham Forest last season.
