Burnley striker Sam Vokes: Europe would be huge

Burnley striker Sam Vokes admits they're dreaming of Europe.

The Wales international has been with the Clarets since 2011 and knows what Europa League qualification will mean for the club.

He told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph: "It would be huge. From the club I turned up at a few years ago it's a massive turnaround.

"We were always going for survival in the Premier League but to take it on this season and push for a European spot is huge.

"For a club like this it shows what a good group of lads can achieve.

"European football is something that we never even dreamed of at the start of the year. When you look at it all you want to do is stay in the league. We've taken that on this year, ticked that off and now we'll see where it takes us.

"It would be some story and great to do it with Burnley. In the time that I've been here it's something that we've never dreamed of. We've not achieved it yet but it's something that we can look to achieve."
