Burnley have made an approach to neighbours Blackburn Rovers to take striker Matt Jansen on loan.

Blackburn boss Graeme Souness has said that Jansen can move on loan to try to regain full match fitness.

The 25-year-old is yet to start a Premiership game this season following a serious head injury sustained in a motorcycle accident last summer.

And Souness believes his recovery will be aided by playing first-team rather than reserve-team football.

"Burnley have enquired about him along with several other clubs from the first division," Souness told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph.

"I'm due to have a meeting with Matt to discuss the situation."

Jansen scored 23 goals to help Blackburn to promotion from Division One two years ago.
