Former Bulls loanee Dara O'Shea linked with Premier League move

Dara O'Shea, who spent time on loan at Hereford from West Brom, is being linked with a move to Premier League club Burnley.

The Dublin-born defender came through the ranks at West Brom, now in the Championship, joining the Bulls on loan in the 2017/18 under manager Peter Beadle.

He then went on loan to Exeter City, before breaking into the Baggies' first team.

Since then, he's made 107 appearances for the club - including 27 when they were in the Premier League - and he could now be returning to the top flight.

He looks set to join Burnley on Thursday if the two clubs agree on a fee and he passes a medical.

A fee could be in the region of £10 million.

The Clarets have just been promoted to the Premier League, whereas a loss of the parachute payments for Albion means they've admitted they will need to sell payers this summer.
