Burnley boss Sean Dyche's may extend his transfer dealings into Europe for the first time this January, although he was puzzled by suggestions he is about to bring an Ecuadorian to east Lancashire. The Clarets' squad is the only one in the Barclays Premier League made up entirely of British and Irish players.
"It's well documented we were behind the curve with regards the recruitment system," said Dyche.
"We had one but we weren't going into Europe. Now we are venturing over there.
"That doesn't mean we are going to sign anyone but we are beginning to get the background and trying to get depth of knowledge that's needed in recruitment."
However, Dyche did dismiss one potential new recruit who was suggested as a possible target.
Junior Sornoza, a 20-year-old attacking midfielder plying his trade in South America.
. "Who is that? That's news to me," he added.
"It would be highly unlikely that (our scouting) goes that far afield. We're starting off building a base in England, going into Europe as the first marker and if and when there's time to go beyond that, we'll see. But certainly not at the moment, no."
