Burnley boss Sean Dyche is adamant they're the best place for winger Dwight McNeil.

For Dyche, getting the game time he does with the Clarets is speeding up is development and is something that he might not get elsewhere.

“Possibly (he'd get more respect at a bigger club), but on the other hand, he's getting a lot of football, which at a bigger club he might not, so there's a balance to that," said the Burnley boss.

"But he's a fine young player, I think he's got a long way to go in the game and he can forge his way to times bigger than us.

"He's learning, his delivery is good, but there's a long way to go to get up with the best in the Premier League, because there's some fine talent, without a doubt, but he's earning the right to be a player, the way he's going about it, his work ethic, he's a humble lad, which I like, and he's willing to work.

"I just thought he was terrific in a game that was getting away from us, still getting the ball, still active, still working back, all the things you want from all players, particularly young players, to go and play with freedom in the Premier League."
