Laws may look elsewhere for stopper

Burnley boss Brian Laws has admitted he may have to widen his search for a new goalkeeper.

Laws had lined up a potential loan move for highly-rated Newcastle stopper Fraser Forster. But injury concerns at St James' Park have prevented Newcastle from allowing Forster to leave.

Laws said: "It's no secret we are looking to bring in another goalkeeper and I think most people are aware Fraser Forster was our target. However, unfortunately due to an injury at Newcastle it's not possible to move that on at the moment."
