Burnley boss Dyche confirms Crouch arrival and Vokes exit

Burnley manager Sean Dyche has confirmed that veteran striker Peter Crouch will be arriving at Turf Moor from Stoke City, with Sam Vokes moving the other way.

The Clarets were minutes away from a famous victory at Old Trafford on Tuesday, before Victor Lindelof's last-gasp strike rescued a 2-2 draw for Manchester United.

But Dyche's men remain embroiled in a relegation fight, currently sitting 17th in the Premier League standings.

Burnley may still enjoy a four-point cushion over Cardiff City, but Dyche is now facing up to losing Vokes, who with three goals this campaign trails Ashley Barnes and Chris Wood as his side's top scorer in the league.
