Burnley boss Sean Dyche will financially benefit from any sale of homegrown players - courtesy of a clause in his contract, it has been claimed.

The Daily Mail says Dyche has a 'development clause' in his contract entitling him to five per cent of the sale price of players who have come through the academy.

Dwight McNeil attracted interest from Tottenham last summer, but the club failed to match Burnley's £40m valuation, a sale price that would have netted Dyche £2m if the transfer had taken place.

Last month McNeil, 20, signed an extension to his contract, which now expires in 2024, but he remains on the radar of several Premier League clubs.

There is nothing illegal about Dyche receiving bonuses for developing players who go on to be sold, although such clauses are unusual.

Ian Holloway caused a stir in 2011 by revealing he received a percentage of the transfer fee for any Blackpool player he had coached, but the FA did not tighten their regulations.

Cameron Dummigan is the last academy product sold by Burnley. The defender joined Oldham for an undisclosed fee four years ago.
