Burnley boss Parker 'confident' on future of key duo
Burnley are "hopeful" of securing the futures of defender CJ Egan-Riley and midfielder Josh Brownhill, according to boss Scott Parker.
The Clarets secured an immediate return to the Premier League by beating Sheffield United 2-1 on Easter Monday and Parker's attentions have turned to getting the out-of-contract duo to sign new deals.
"They are ongoing conversations we've been having over the last few months and we'll keep engaging with," he said ahead of Saturday's match at QPR (12:30 BST).
"Probably now we all know and there's real clarity on where we're going to be (next season), hopefully we can get some conclusions on both of them."
Egan-Riley has featured in 39 of Burnley's 44 league games this season while Brownhill has scored 16 goals in 42 appearances.
"I am confident - I know both the players have loved this year and been vital to what we've done," added Parker. "Obviously you never know but hopefully we can get to a point where we'll have a bit of clarity on that."

Their highest finish in the new era came in the 2004/05 campaign where, under David Moyes, the Merseyside outfit finished fourth and qualified for the Champions League. The Blues have, however, been crowned champions of England on nine occasions, most recently enjoying two successes in the 1980s.

The clubs most LIKELY to sign Liverpool star who 'lacks intensity'
The clubs most LIKELY to sign Liverpool star who 'lacks intensity' Liverpool have a big decision to make over Harvey Elliott during this summer's transfer window. The playmaker only made two Premier League starts for the champions last season - both of which came after the title was wrapped up. Arne Slot simply did not trust the 22-year-old in the biggest moments and that treatment has led to a discussion over the England under-21 international's future. Advertisement Elliott is under contract until 2027 and there is little prospect of him signing a new deal with his minutes so restricted. There is believed to be Premier League interest from Nottingham Forest, Newcastle and Wolves, but Elliott has so far issued no preference on his next move. Back in January it was also speculated that Borussia Dortmund and Brighton were interested in the out-of-favour creative midfielder. Sporting director Richard Hughes is believed to value Elliott at £40m to £50m - and he could be sacrificed this summer if the right bid materialises. Elliott 'lacks intensity' Now comes a report in Football Insider, which appears to seal Elliott's fate. Advertisement The player does not possess the right out-of-possession characteristics to hold down a place in Arne Slot's team, according to the report, with Mohamed Salah and Dominik Szoboszlai far ahead of him in the pecking order. 'Liverpool's coaches are said to believe the 22-year-old lacks the intensity off the ball required to fit into their playing style on a regular basis and be a nailed-on starter,' the report reads. And, accordingly, a move to Serie A might be on the cards for the former Fulham man. © IMAGO Will Elliott move to Italy? 'Harvey Elliott is most likely to join a Serie A club if he leaves Liverpool this summer,' the report states. Advertisement 'Elliott's game would be better suited to Serie A, and there is believed to be early interest from two leading Italian clubs. 'Clubs in Germany's Bundesliga are also understood to be monitoring the left-footed star's situation.' The names of the clubs involved are not disclosed in the report.
