Burnley's pursuit of Standard Liege striker Jackson Muleka is in doubt, following developments over the weekend.

The Clarets were closing in on a double deal for Muleka and Standard and DR Congo teammate Samuel Bastien.

Muleka – who scored 12 goals in 14 appearances last season on loan from Liege at Turkish Superlig side Kasımpaşa – is also a target for Besiktas, with Kasımpaşa also keen to be reunited with the 22-year-old.

The two clubs are believed to have reached an agreement around €4m plus add ons for Muleka, with the Belgian club getting a sell on clause of 25%, with them having to pay 50% of this sale to his former club TP Mazembe.
