Burnley chairman Mike Garlick is open to foreign investment.

Garlick said the club were regularly fielding calls from parties interested in investing in Burnley, but the chairman is confident that the current board remain well placed to match the growth of the club.

“We're one of three or four clubs now who are British owned in the Premier League, but we get calls all the time," Garlick told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph.

“If you look and think you want to push for the top seven, you'd have to get outside investment. I don't think we're quite at that phase yet.

“It's difficult to bottom out whether an owner is going to be bad if they are foreign, how do you do your due diligence? Not just whether they've got a big cheque to buy the club, but how they are going to behave.

“But there are good foreign owners, you've just got to be very careful."
