L’Équipe are reporting that Burnley are set to complete the signing of Han-Noah Massengo (22). His signing would represent a spectacular turnaround after the French publication reported in July that the former Bristol City midfielder had rejected a move to Vincent Kompany’s side.
Burnley have been interested in Massengo all summer. The former AS Monaco midfielder’s contract at Bristol City expired at the end of the season. However, just prior to that expiry, the France youth international had a promising six-month loan spell at AJ Auxerre. Although Massengo couldn’t prevent the club from relegation to Ligue 2, his performances nonetheless raised his profile.
Alongside former club AS Monaco, Burnley were the club to display the most interest. However, L’Équipe reported in late July that the deal was off, citing the player’s concerns over playing time. Massengo now looks to have reconsidered his stance. Whilst there is not yet a contractual agreement in place, discussions with the Frenchman are advancing, and a deal at this point looks likely. Massengo would join the Premier League club on a free transfer.
