Sean Dyche insists he's willing to buy more overseas players to help Burnley progress ahead of impending buy-out from American investors ALK Capital... having not signed anyone from a club outside England since 2016

Sean Dyche won't be averse to break with tradition and sign more overseas players at Burnley if he considers it'll help the club progress.

Dyche has earned a reputation for building a British and Irish-based squad at Turf Moor with New Zealander Chris Wood and Dutchman Erik Pieters the only 'foreigners' involved in their last game against Wolves.

Burnley haven't signed anyone from a club outside England since Steven Defour joined from Anderlecht in 2016, a contrast to Sunday's opponents Leeds who brought in five players from France, Spain and Germany in the last window to cope with the Premier League.
