Burnley midfielder Scott Arfield is attracting interest from Brighton, Crystal Palace and West Ham, according to Sky sources.

The 29-year-old has less than six months remaining on his contract and would be available on a free transfer in the summer.

Sky Sports News understands Burnley have offered Arfield a new deal, but the Canada international is yet to agree fresh terms to stay at Turf Moor.

The trio of clubs are yet to formalise their interest with an offer.

West Ham manager David Moyes is a long-term admirer of Arfield having previously wanted to sign him during his time at Sunderland.

Moyes revealed in December that he was keen on adding to his squad as he attempts to preserve his side's place in the Premier League.
