On Thursday, Burnley boss Scott Parker was asked for an update after reports suggested that Barcelona legend Ronaldinho's son, Joao Mendes, is close to penning a deal with the Clarets.

The teenager, who recently departed Barcelona's academy set-up, was pictured posing with a Burnley shirt ahead of his proposed move to the EFL Championship side.

"I don't think anything has been officially done at this present moment in time, but I think there is something there, for sure," Parker said, according to the Burnley Express.
