- Clarets exit for Gifton
Burnley striker Gifton Noel-Williams has agreed to leave Turf Moor and sign for Murcia in a £50,000 deal.
The 27-year-old former Stoke City and Watford forward has scored seven goals in 57 appearances for the Clarets since joining the club 18 months ago.
Boss Steve Cotterill confirmed on the club's official website: "Gifton will be joining Murcia on Wednesday and he goes with our best wishes.
"He's been good for us of late, but he was coming towards the end of his contract."
Cotterill still hopes to sign Sunderland captain Steve Caldwell before the transfer window closes, adding: "You never know what will happen, but at the moment we don't know because it's not in our hands.
"If anything turns up it will be down to other people, not us. Steve Caldwell is not with us and it's down to him, his agent and his dealings with Sunderland.
"If it doesn't happen, we'll move on and if he comes and wants to sign for us, then we know he really wanted to sign."
