Burnley are chasing Belgium strikers Christian Benteke and Divock Origi this month.

Boss Sean Dyche plans to spend his £25million Chris Wood windfall on Prem experience and the Clarets are investigating both targets.

Crystal Palace gave Benteke, 31, a new deal and he is a regular starter but he could be available for around £10m, says The Sun.

He also took less money to stay with the Eagles and is in the range of what Burnley pay — but there would be a snag if he was asked to take a relegation cut.

Benteke was left out of Liverpool's starting line-up at Brighton on Friday and Palace would spend the cash on a bid for Arsenal's Eddie Nketiah or keep Mainz loanee Jean-Philippe Mateta permanently.

Liverpool striker Origi is also in their sights but will take some persuading to swap Anfield for Turf Moor at this stage of his career — and in mid-season.
