BURNLEY target Jon Flanagan is considering whether to make a season-long loan move to the Clarets.

The 23-year-old has been given the go ahead to make the switch by Reds boss Jurgen Klopp according to reports on Merseyside, with the decision now resting with the player.

Flanagan only returned to first-team action for Liverpool in January after a long battle with a knee injury, but he is highly-rated by Klopp and signed a new three-year deal earlier this year.

However he has been given the green light to make the temporary switch with Liverpool not in European competition this season and Nathaniel Clyne established as the club's first choice right-back.

If Flanagan makes the move to Turf Moor he could fit in in either full-back slot, having also played left-back for Liverpool under Brendan Rodgers.
