Burnley boss Dyche targeting Leicester winger Albrighton

Burnley boss Sean Dyche is targeting Leicester City winger Marc Albrighton.

The Sun says Albrighton - a key man in the Foxes side that won the Premier League in 2016 - struggled for game time last season.

And Dyche believes he can lure the 31-year-old to Turf Moor because he has just 12 months left on his contract.

Dyche is keen to line up an extra wide player after failing to win the race for Ashley Young when he chose to return to Aston Villa instead.

Albrighton would be a similar type of player and comes with the kind of solid experience that Dyche admires.

He would also be relatively cheap and give the Clarets options down both wings.
