Burnley might break their transfer record again as Sean Dyche says he needs to spend more this summer

Burnley's comparatively big spending may not be done yet, with Sean Dyche hinting their transfer record could be broken again before the window closes.

The Clarets this week brought in Belgium international Steven Defour for a fee understood to be in the region of £7.5million, in a deal which boss Dyche hailed as significant for the Premier League newcomers.

Defour's arrival was offset by David Jones' departure to Sheffield Wednesday, leaving Burnley still short in the central-midfield area, and Dyche has stressed he may have to splash more cash prior to September.
