    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."
