Burnley, who were recently relegated to the Championship, are following Stoke City defender Eric-Junior Bocat. The 27-year-old French and Senegalese player is also being monitored by German club Cologne and AS Monaco. Monaco is looking for a backup left-back, and according to Sacha Tavolieri, Bocat is one of the two main options being considered by their sporting management. Initial contact has been established between Monaco and Stoke City. However, no concrete developments are expected before next week. These various interests provide the defender with several options for his future. Bocat joined Stoke City in July 2024, and his contract is valid until June 2028. His current Transfermarkt market value is €2.20m.
