Burnley boss Sean Dyche: We must focus on quality signings

Burnley boss Sean Dyche insists they'll focus on quality this summer.

Dyche insists they do not need a huge number of additions for next season.

"There's a fine balance. I spoke to managers at bigger clubs and they had to thin down their squads," Dyche said of his summer plans.

"I don't think we're there yet, but you do think 'how many do we actually need?'

"So we have to mindful not to overfill the club, because you lose some of the attention and detail we want to put on the players, for them to continue maturing.

"We've been adaptable, we're still working at 23 outfield players, which is quite high for us, so we don't want to overfill it, but the main thing for me is the quality of the players.

"If you have true competition in every position, which we've more or less had over the season, that's where it really works for you."
