Michael Obafemi finally looks set for move to Championship topping Burnley

Michael Obafemi looks set to move to Championship topping Burnley.

The Ireland forward has long been linked to the Clarets and it finally looks like he'll get his move.

Obafemi has been in great form of late, becoming a mainstay for Ireland since earning a recall.

And the forward will be joining Burnley's title push if the deal goes through.

Telegraph writer Mike McGrath says the two clubs have agreed deals and is set to undergo a medical.

Burnley currently sit top of the table and are five points clear of Sheffield United.

And they are some 18 points clear of third place Watford and look set for promotion to the Premier League.

Burnley have won eight games in a row under manager Vincent Kompany.
