​Dyche ready to throw new signing Nkoudou straight into Burnley debut

Burnley manager Sean Dyche has stated that he is ready to hand new signing Georges-Kevin Nkoudou his debut this weekend.

Burnley recently completed the signing of Nkoudou on loan from Tottenham and ahead of the Clarets' upcoming encounter against Crystal Palace, Dyche has revealed that he is ready to hand the new signing his debut this weekend.

Dyche said: "He has been bright in training. He has a thirst for it, because he has waited a long time. He has had moments at Tottenham but they have a deep squad and some fine players. So I think he has had to wait his time and earn his chance, that hasn't come round.

"We have known about him for a little while. We wanted to see how close to our team he'd be. He has got a chance and will make a decision whether we think he should start, or start on the bench. But he will be involved."
