BURNLEY are set to seal a move for Peter Crouch with boss Sean Dyche confident the 38-year-old can still cut it in the Premier League.
The England international will join the Clarets while Sam Vokes moves the other way for a fee in the region of £7million.
Neither deal is yet complete but the switch will be confirmed before the transfer window closes tonight at 11pm.
Burnley will be Crouch's 10th club and the frontman brings a wealth of experience including 108 Premier League goals.
The striker has signed a deal until the end of the season.
“What interests me is motivated players. Michael Duff was one of those for us at 37 and I think Peter Crouch is the same,” said Dyche.
“There’s no issue about his fitness and I think he has an intention and a desire to still make a mark in football.
“We know what a good character he is and he still has that edge. We know he’s an effective footballer and he has a hunger to come here and make a mark.”
