Burnley boss Sean Dyche hopeful for January signings amid links to striker Joshua King but admits transfer activity is complicated by new owners having to conduct business remotely due to Covid

Sean Dyche is optimistic about new arrivals at Burnley this month but admitted the situation is complicated by the new hierarchy having to conduct business remotely because of the coronavirus pandemic.

American investment firm ALK Capital completed its takeover of Burnley on New Year's Eve and new chairman Alan Pace pledged to back Dyche in the transfer market this month as the club bid to retain their Premier League place.

It was announced by the club at the weekend that Pace had tested positive for Covid-19, although Dyche, who believes his squad is long overdue some new blood, revealed work is going on behind the scenes.
