Burnley step up interest in Newcastle defender Paul Dummett ahead of new Premier League season

Burnley have made enquiries about Newcastle United left-back Paul Dummett.

The 24-year-old Wales international is still part of Rafa Benitez's plans though the Spanish coach also hopes to bring in Everton's Brendan Galloway on loan.

Benitez gave Dummett a starting role in Newcastle's opening day defeat by Fulham in the Championship on Friday night.
