Burnley manager Sean Dyche has hailed the form of forward Ashley Barnes.

Barnes, who is the record Premier League goal scorer for the Clarets with 16 goals, will be watched in person by Austria national team boss Franco Foda this weekend.

Though Barnes was born in Bath, England, he qualifies to play for Austria through his grandmother.

Should Foda be impressed with what he sees, it is likely that he will call-up Barnes for Austria's upcoming friendly internationals against Slovenia and Luxembourg.

"I think overall he continues to mature in his all-round performances. I'm very pleased," the Clarets chief said.

"We have a group who continue to mature in different ways and he's part of that. He's done well and earned the right to get recognised like the others who are getting looked at for England, the Irish lads and Vokesy at Wales of course. They have earned the right because of their performances."
