According to Sky Sports, Nathaniel Chalobah is set to head to Burnley on loan for the 2014/15 season. The club should be familiar with the youngster, who has spent the past two seasons on loan with various Championship sides.

Chalobah has had mixed results over the past two seasons. He was exceptional while at Watford, easily one of the best players in the division for the 2012/13 season. He then struggled to get minutes at Nottingham Forest, before being moderately effective during his spell on loan at Middlesbrough.
This move has been talked about for quite a while, but the hangup has supposedly been how much of Burnley's wages that his parent club would end up paying. It will be interesting to see what was agreed on if the details are ever leaked.
