Ian Butterworth has been named Burnley's new head of European recruitment.
Butterworth is playing a key part in broadening Burnley's horizons for new additions to Sean Dyche's squads.
"Burnley are a good, solid club with a very good manager in Sean Dyche, and he's done really well," he told the Eastern Daily Press.
"He gets the best out of his players and they are a club progressing very slowly but surely.
"They've got a brand new training ground they've been in for only two months. They've got good people behind the scenes, a bit like Norwich – local businessmen who have done good. And they don't make too many bad decisions it seems.
"They want to branch out into Europe and get some players because those in England, it's ridiculous the market values that you're paying for.
"Burnley are trying to establish themselves in the Premier League and to do that, you've got to be at it every year, spend the right amount of money, have good leadership. They are trying to progress and here I am."
