According to journalist Alan Nixon, the Clarets are keen to bring in the 21-year-old Karlsruher SC stopper to provide competition for number one James Trafford.
Scott Parker’s side already have Vaclav Hladky and Etienne Green on their books, but it appears the club are keen to bolster their options ahead of their Premier League return.

It’s claimed, however, that Weiss’ preference is to link up with Burnley.

Clarets fans are also awaiting news on the futures of Josh Brownhill and Ashley Barnes, who will soon become free agents.
