Burnley boss Dyche reveals scouting expansion

Burnley boss Sean Dyche admits they're expanding their scouting network.

Dyche acknowledges how his team shop in the markets they know due to financial risk.

"We've been looking to build year on year, some of which people don't see obviously," Dyche told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph.

"When that becomes effective, I've mentioned it many times, it's still going to be that situation where you think of Burnley and the number of players that go around the world for astronomical fees and then disappear.

"This club wants the disappearing bit to be good. That's always a risk and reward scenario unless you've got all of the background needed into Europe.

"We are growing with that; we haven't got all of the depth and the knowledge needed in the European scene.

"I think that opens more avenues up, but in the meantime, we'll shop in the markets we know, and we'll make sure we know the markets that we're in.

"We think there's a balanced chance that they'll do well for us and then be a sellable asset in the future if that's needed."
