Igor is reportedly the subject of advanced talks between Burnley and Brighton, who are negotiating terms ahead of a possible transfer. The defender has long been on the radar of Burnley, who see him as the perfect addition to their squad as they look to strengthen a key area of the pitch. Progress on talks has been made, though a final agreement is not yet in place and other clubs are said to be weighing-up whether to join the race for his signature. While Burnley and Brighton continue talks, no breakthrough has been reported. Cruzeiro, Palmeiras and Crystal Palace reportedly may still have an interest, but currently the focus is on getting this deal across the line. So far in this season, Burnley are conceding 3.0 goals a game (9 in 3), more than they'd like compared to the Championship standard. The hope is Igor adds a bit of steel and helps make them tougher to break down. Brighton have also been linked with Femi Azeez, Yeremay Hernandez Cubas and Honest Ahanor while Burnley are reportedly monitoring Connor O Riordan, Anel Ahmedhodzic and Gregorie Coudert.
