Burnley boss Coyle won over by Guerrero

Burnley boss Owen Coyle admits he's been impressed by Ecuador trialist Fernando Guerrero.

The 19-year-old winger has been on trial with the Clarets in recent weeks and produced an eye-catching performance in the 5-0 friendly victory over Ventura County Fusion.

He is now set to get another opportunity in Sunday's match against professional outfit Portland Timbers, who play two tiers above Fusion.

Coyle accepts that Guerrero still needs to improve in many areas but he recognises the youngster's raw talent.

"He's a young kid with a lot to learn in the game," Coyle told the Lancashire Telegraph.

"He's certainly not the finished article but he's exciting - the type of player that I like. We've got a few of them, but I like four or five of them."
