BURNLEY would be open to a loan move for central defender Tom Anderson, it is understood.

There have been enquiries about the 23-year-old, who spent last season on loan with Chesterfield in League One, making 40 appearances and scoring twice.

The Burnley-born stopper, who came through the club’s youth ranks, has been involved with the senior squad but has yet to make a competitive first team appearance for the Clarets.

Anderson has had previous loan spells with Carlisle United, Lincoln City, Hyde United and Barrow.
