Burnley boss Dyche backing Taylor for England call

Burnley boss Sean Dyche says Charlie Taylor can win an England call in the future.

The left back only made his first Premier League appearance of the season off the bench against Everton on Saturday.

“I think it's interesting for me, over these years, and now we're very confidently talking about Burnley players being in the England squad," Dyche said.

“I remember when Tom Heaton got his first call up, it was 'wow, Burnley haven't had an England player for however many years', and now we're talking about it free and easy, saying, okay, Tom, Keano (Michael Keane), Corky (Jack Cork) got one out of the blue of course, you could argue last season for Westy (Ashley Westwood), just if you were going on form, and performances.

“I still think there's a lot of room and time for Charlie Taylor to go into that thinking, along his development line. Erik's doing well at the moment, but that doesn't mean I've got a lack of belief in Charlie.

“It's good to say Burnley players are being talked about as freely as we are with the national side, and other international players as well."
