Burnley boss Sean Dyche plays down Troy Deeney transfer speculation

Burnley boss Sean Dyche distances himself from speculation linking sought-after Watford striker Troy Deeney with a move to the Premier League club.

Burnley boss Sean Dyche has played down speculation linking the club with Watford striker Troy Deeney.

The Clarets are among a number of teams who are thought to be keen on signing the 26-year-old, who scored 25 goals last season.

While admitting that Deeney is a player whom he is impressed by, Dyche conceded that he is unsure whether Burnley could afford to bring the forward to Turf Moor.

"He's amongst many players I admire, good players, but we've got a certain brief from the club that we have to work to," he told Sky Sports News.

"The club has a base to build from, financially. We can't entertain £8m players, I can assure you of that."

Burnley won their second pre-season game of the summer on Saturday with a 1-0 victory over Accrington Stanley.
