BURNLEY are leading the chase to capture Oldham-born winger Andrew Driver from Hearts.

The Clarets, newly promoted to the Premier League, have confirmed that have made a bid of around £2million for Driver, who made his England debut in the finals of the European under-21 championships.

Hearts are holding out for a fee of between £4m-£6m for the player who once attended Athletic’s centre of excellence before his family moved to Scotland.
