THE fee that Burnley will receive for striker Danny Ings is set to be decided by tribunal, after the Clarets failed to reach an agreement with Liverpool for the England Under-21 international.

After initially rejecting Liverpool’s £5million offer for Ings it is understood Burnley enquired about the possibility of making at least one loan signing from Anfield as a makeweight as part of the deal, but the Reds have not been forthcoming.

Now, unless there is a late u-turn by the board in accepting Liverpool’s bid, the fee will be set by a panel.

The Clarets will hope that Spurs reportedly being prepared to offer £12m will have influence.

It has been reported they were holding out for around £8million for Ings.

Sean Dyche has been linked with a loan move for Liverpool forward Jerome Sinclair. New sporting director Frank McParland was involved in the 18-year-old’s transfer from West Brom in 2011 during his time at Liverpool.
