Burnley have welcomed 28 promising young players from around the world for a trial after talent-spotting them using a new app, powered by artificial intelligence.
The system invites footballers to film themselves undertaking physical and technical challenges, and an algorithm tailored to Burnley's style of play and recruitment strategy assesses their performance.
Thousands signed up to the app, called AiSCOUT, from 125 countries. Those players who excelled were flagged up to the club's coaching team and the lucky ones have been invited to Burnley's new training complex for a week-long trial.
Burnley's new owners, ALK Capital, and chairman, Alan Pace, pledged to make more use of technology in every aspect of the club's operation, including recruitment, after they took over on New Year's Eve.
