Burnley manager Dyche tips Taylor for England future

Burnley manager Sean Dyche says Charlie Taylor could become an England international.

The left-back has struggled for game-time this season as Erik Pieters has made the left-back spot his own.

But Dyche sees enough potential in the 26-year-old for him to become a future member of the Three Lions.

"I still think there's a lot of room and time for Charlie Taylor to go into that thinking, along his development line," said Dyche speaking ahead of the weekend win over Everton.

"Erik's doing well at the moment, but that doesn't mean I've got a lack of belief in Charlie."

He added: "He had such a strong season last season.

"And funnily enough I've just had a chat with him about it, getting him back to where he was, which he isn't a million miles from.

"But Erik has come in and laid down some really strong performances and he did as soon as he came in."
