Despite the Clarets' relegation from the top tier, O'Shea impressed and is now set for a return to Premier League football.

Brentford have just made room in their squad for a new centre-half by selling Zanka to Belgian club Anderlecht.

Burnley, who have won their opening two matches in the Championship, have turned to Chelsea defender Bashir Humphreys to replace O'Shea.

Clarets boss Scott Parker is set to seal the season-long loan signing of the highly-rated 21-year-old, with Humphreys due for a medical at Turf Moor tomorrow.
