Burnley expect to break club's transfer record this summer - Sean Dyche

Burnley are set to break their own transfer record this summer as Sean Dyche seeks to add to his squad ahead of another Premier League campaign.

The Clarets splashed out an initial £6 million on Brentford striker Andre Gray during the previous summer window and Dyche confirmed Burnley will probably exceed that figure before their business concludes in September.

A midfielder remains top of Dyche's wishlist following Joey Barton's departure to Rangers but attempts to land Jeff Hendrick, Dale Stephens and Steven Defour have so far come up short.

With coffers flush from a share of the top flight's new television deal, Premier League clubs are spending vaster sums than ever before and Dyche accepts Burnley may have to part with a figure greater than the club has previously spent.
