Maxwel Cornet has already hinted he'll stay at Burnley next season despite their relegation to the Championship. It's believed the Clarets winger is of interest to a number of Premier League sides after impressing at Turf Moor last year, and has been offered to Newcastle United alongside Watford striker Emmanuel Dennis.
The Ivory Coast international has a reported release clause of £17.5million following Burnley's relegation last season. The versatile former Lyon man ended last season as top scorer for the Clarets, scoring nine goals and notching two assists.
Burnley have reportedly turned down an approach from Premier League new boys Nottingham Forest, who are keen to bolster their squad following promotion back to the top tier. However, Cornet has already dropped a hint about his future on social media.

On his Instagram post on May 28, Cornet said: "Days have passed on, and still words cannot describe how disappointed we are after this relegation into the Championship. We have fallen, but we will rise again.
"Burnley will regain their place in the Premier League because this club deserves to be in the elite of English football."
A month is a long time in football and interest from the Premier League may turn Cornet's head. The 25-year-old signed a five-year deal at Turf Moor last season and there's no need for Burnley to sell their star man just yet, but Eddie Howe's side could see him as a cheaper alternative to Moussa Diaby of Bayer Leverkusen.
