Vincent Kompany said Maxime Esteve was ‘in the building’ as Burnley closed in on signing the defender from Montpellier on transfer deadline day.

The 21-year-old looks set to join on-loan Chelsea forward David Datro Fofana as a January arrival at Turf Moor.

Footage on social media appeared to show Esteve in attendance at the 3-1 loss at Manchester City on Wednesday.

‘Walking up here, there’s still nothing official, so until then… but he’s in the building and hopefully we can announce it soon.
