Burnley and Fulham are reportedly keen on Strasbourg centre-back Gerzino Nyamsi, although the Premier League duo face competition from Anderlecht for the Frenchman.

Burnley and Fulham are reportedly interested in signing Strasbourg defender Gerzino Nyamsi this month.

The 26-year-old has featured in 13 Ligue 1 matches for the French club this season, recently recovering from an injury which has kept him out of action since early December.

Nyasmi joined from Rennes in the summer of 2021 and has gone on to make 69 appearances for the BlueCo-owned club, scoring one goal over that period.

The centre-back represented France at Under-20 level between 2018 and 2019, but he is yet to earn a call-up for the two-time World Cup winners on the senior stage.

According to Football Insider, Premier League duo Burnley and Fulham have registered their interest in Nyamsi this month.

The report claims that the English duo are not alone in their fondness of the player, though, with Belgian Pro League outfit Anderlecht also impressed by the defender.

Strasbourg are said to be weighing up whether they would be willing to let Nyamsi depart in January or not, with Patrick Vieira's side chasing down a top-six place in the Ligue 1 standings.

The Frenchman's contract at Stade de la Meinau expires in the summer of 2025, so Strasbourg are in no immediate rush to part ways with the player.

Burnley head coach Vincent Kompany has signalled his intentions to bring in reinforcements during the winter transfer window as they attempt to avoid an immediate return to the Championship.

The Clarets are currently 19th in the Premier League table, five points behind 17th-placed Everton after drawing against Luton Town on Friday night at Turf Moor.

Dara O'Shea and Hjalmar Ekdal were the centre-back pairing for Burnley last time out, with the latter making a surprise return from injury to feature.

As for the West Londoners, Marco Silva's Fulham are looking for defensive signings with Tosin Adarabioyo's future at Craven Cottage in doubt.

The former West Bromwich Albion loanee has under six months left on his contract with the Cottagers, meaning that he could leave on a free transfer at the conclusion of the campaign.

Owing to their FA Cup defeat at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur, Burnley have over two weeks to prepare for a trip to current champions Manchester City on January 31.
