​Burnley manager Dyche ready for frugal summer

Burnley manager Sean Dyche is ready to help the club recruit the players they need to stay in the Premier League.

Unlike other clubs in the division, Burnley do not have a benefactor or a huge transfer budget.

It means that manager Dyche must be frugal in the market, wheeling and dealing to get the players he thinks can move them forward. But the Englishman is up for the challenge.

"It's getting more and more difficult," the Clarets boss said to reporters.

"The obvious ones for us Tarky, Popey, Gudmundsson, it's different with Dwight coming through the system, but they are not as easy to find anymore.

"And if you do, their clubs say they want £29m or something, a lot of money.

"Business models in football have gone out of the window, so no one really deals with the business model, they just say 'give us this number or we'll keep them'.

"You might think they're not in that great order, but they're not bothered, therefore pay the money or don't.

"It's getting harder and harder to get the deals done."
