Three strikers to replace Foster at Burnley
1. Eddie Nketiah

The England striker has found it hard to break into Mikel Arteta's starting lineup, and he's not even the second in line.
The Spanish gaffer prefers playing Leandro Trossard or Kai Havertz in the false nine instead of going for Nketiah or Gabriel Jesus.
The former Leeds United striker could be an option for Burnley if they lose Foster to Aston Villa or Inter Milan.
2. David Fofana
The Ivorian striker enjoyed his time with the Clarets while on loan from Chelsea at the club last season.
The young striker might also find it difficult to become the Blues' first-choice centre forward under Enzo Maresca next season.
Another loan move to Burnley in the English Championship could be perfect for the youngster and would slot in perfectly as Foster's replacement.
3. Kelechi Iheanacho
The Super Eagles forward is currently a free agent after being released by Leicester City this summer.
