Ipswich Town have agreed a deal worth up to £15m to sign Burnley goalkeeper Arijanet Muric.

The Tractor Boys will pay an initial £10m for the Kosovo international, with add-ons of up to £5m.

The 25-year-old, who joined Burnley from Manchester City in July 2022, was second choice to James Trafford last season.

He won his place back and played the final 10 games, but was unable to prevent the Clarets being relegated to the Championship.

Ipswich were looking for a new goalkeeper after Vaclav Hladky left the club at the end of the season after his contract expired.

Boss Kieran McKenna has already signed Omari Hutchinson, Ben Johnson, Jacob Greaves and Liam Delap this summer.

Southampton have signed left-back Charlie Taylor from Burnley on a two-year deal.

The 30-year-old joints the Saints having made 161 Premier League appearances in his career to date.

Taylor leaves the Clarets, where he played 104 times, after seven years.

"I’m really excited," said Taylor to the Saints website about his switch. "It just feels like the right fit.

"Everyone I spoke to about the club have only got great words to say. So I am excited and can't wait to get started.

"Straight away, [Southampton boss Russell Martin] really impressed me. The way he talks about football is the way I like to see it too. Him being the manager was a massive pulling point.

"I feel as though it was too good an opportunity to turn down."

Martin added: "Charlie brings a wealth of Premier League experience to the side which will be vital for us.

"He’s a great character who will fit into what we’re building here. Technically he’s a gifted passer of the ball and has versatility."

Jay Rodriguez has extended his Burnley stay by signing a one-year extension at Turf Moor.

The 34-year-old has made 288 appearances for his hometown club and this will take him into his 11th year with the Clarets.

"It's a great feeling and a real privilege to represent Burnley," Rodriguez told the club website, external. "Being offered another year was a proud moment and there was no way I could say no.

"It was a no brainer for myself, my family and my friends and there was nothing else in my mind apart from signing and playing for this club for as long as I can.

"Burnley is all I've known. The football club is a massive part of the town and to be able to represent Burnley is always special."

We asked for your views on Burnley's vacant manager position.

Here's who some of you want to replace Vincent Kompany:

Mark: I think Liam Rosenior, he did a good job at Hull. He was the brains behind Rooney at Derby and he knows the league, plus he's an up and coming young manager. He's a better choice than Lampard and others in the frame.

Gazo: Cooper or Potter, both proven managers. Definitely don't want Lampard.

Kieron: To me the answer is simple and would make sense. Craig Bellamy isn’t going to Bayern with VK and he has been at the centre during VK’s tenure. As a player he has a great track record and the heart of a lion. While he probably has little experience of being a manager, he has been there during the best and the worst of the last two seasons.

James: We need a manager that believes in a similar style of play due to the squad we have built. Of the available managers Corberan would be my first choice. West Brom were the only team to outplay us in the Championship.

Simon: David Moyes would be my choice.

Andy: I hope the board continues with the appointment of an up and coming emerging managerial talent. Ruud van Nistelrooy ticks those boxes.

Paul Scott-Bates: Scott Parker.
