Burnley are believed to be close to the signing of Wale's most capped goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey.
And that is likely to mean Bailey Peacock Farrell leaving Turf Moor on loan, with the club eager to find a Championship move to give the Northern Ireland International regular game time.
It was confirmed this week that Hennessey, 34, has left Crystal Palace, after seven years with the Eagles at the end of his contract.
The goalkeeper is expected to join the Clarets as back up to Nick Pope, joining a goalkeeping pool that includes Peacock-Farrell, Will Norris, and young Lukas Jensen, currently on loan in Iceland with Kordrengir.
Hennessey, who was edged out of the Wales' number one jersey at Euro 2020 by Leicester City's Danny Ward, has made 96 appearances for this country.
However, the goalkeeper was dropped down the pecking order at Selhurst Park under outgoing manager Roy Hodgson, behind Vicente Guaita and former England squad regular Jack Butland.
Sheffield Wednesday were keen to sign Peacock Farrell on a season-long loan, but after their relegation to League 1, Burnley would prefer the goalkeeper to get more experience at a higher level.
