Burnley have made an enquiry for Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster who may be available on loan.
Sean Dyche wants cover for the injured Nick Pope. The England No 3 suffered damage to his left shoulder against Aberdeen.
He saw a specialist on Monday and is highly likely to undergo an operation, meaning the 26-year-old could be out for up to three months.
Anders Lindegaard is now set to become Burnley's first-choice goalkeeper, although he too is struggling with a thigh problem and Tom Heaton is sidelined.
The injury crisis means Dyche will want to move swiftly to secure cover and Forster could join as Saints signed Angus Gunn for £13.5million from Manchester City.
Clarets midfielder Dean Marney has joined Fleetwod Town on a two year deal.
