Burnley boss Sean Dyche says he's willing to buy from abroad.

Burnley haven't signed anyone from a club outside England since Steven Defour joined from Anderlecht in 2016, a contrast to Sunday's opponents Leeds who brought in five players from France, Spain and Germany in the last window to cope with the Premier League.

"When you're a manager you don't mind where players are from. It is how good they are and how they can help your team to win," said Dyche.

"I know people say "Oh, they don't like foreign players," but they are just generalising. It's about getting the budgets and bringing in the ones who can make you successful.

"Ours has been about bringing in players who have maybe fallen out of the Premier League and polishing them up a bit, breathing bit of life back into them, or ones coming out of the Championship.

"That has been a good market for us. It's about finding the ones who fit us financially and can help us.

"Leeds have put in a Lot of money over the last couple of seasons. It's not all about the manager (Marcelo Bielsa) having this style or whatever."
