Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri has reported that Russell Martin’s side are keen to explore a loan deal with an option to buy for the winger, who has barely featured for the Clarets this season.
The wide man, who only signed a new four-year contract in August, scored 13 goals last season as the Clarets romped to the Championship title.
However, the fans’ favourite has started just one game in the Premier League this term and has only made five appearances in total.
The 26-year-old has, however, spent some time on the sidelines with an injury he picked up in the Carabao Cup win against Salford City in September.
It’s claimed Southampton are one of a number of sides interested in a potential January swoop for Benson, but the Burnley Express understands there is “no chance” of the winger moving to St Mary’s.
