Burnley boss Sean Dyche has hailed the impact of summer signing Steven Defour.

The 28-year-old has made a bright start to his Turf Moor career after a £7.5million move from Anderlecht in August.

“He's a good technician, it's why we brought him here. He can deliver, pass and break up the play," said the Clarets chief to the Lancashire Evening Telegraph.

“He's got a calmness to him and that extra belief from playing for Belgium, playing in big games, under tough circumstances sometimes when he moved to Anderlecht from Liege.

“It gives you a strength, and he's got a strength of character, and strength to have the ball, want it and receive it, and that rubs off on others."
