Marcus Edwards was open to joining Leeds United in the winter transfer market, according to Burnley’s head of recruitment.

Burnley take a break from their promotion push when they visit Preston North End in the FA Cup fifth round this weekend - but the Clarets will still keep an eye on events at the top end of the Championship over the coming days.

The Blades were beaten in the battle of the top two on Monday evening, and the Clarets remain just two points behind them.
