Matt Lowton is on the brink of leaving Aston Villa to join Burnley, according to Sky sources.

It is understood a fee of around £1m, plus add-ons, has been agreed between the clubs and that a three-year deal will be completed in the next 24 hours.

The right-back, who joined Villa from Sheffield United in the summer of 2012, has fallen out of favour under Tim Sherwood and has struggled to dislodge Alan Hutton in his first-team plans.

Quality signing for Burnley. I'm a big fan of Sean Dyche and have grown a soft spot for Burnley since he took over. After us, they are the team I'd like to see go back up this season.

I sort of get what you are saying but then I think of Leighton James and how happy he'd be to see both his teams back in the Prem and then I want Burnley to bomb.

Haha, yeah, I see what you mean. I just find any time I spend thinking about Leighton James angers me so I never consider the repercussions involving him otherwise I'd just go insane with rage.

Great signing for them, the type of player id like to see us go for.

Good signing.
