Burnley boss Sean Dyche expects a healthy transfer budget this summer.

Dyche also expects to keep hold of James Tarkowski.

As the club were taken over by Delaware-based investment firm ALK Capital at the start of this year, Dyche believes they are on a stronger footing to turn down bids that they do not feel match their own valuation.

“I think there will be a bit more strength financially (under the new ownership) in what we're trying to achieve and with contracts and that sort of thing," Dyche said.

“But there's still a model at this club where if someone hits that number and it's deemed appropriate then it's likely that some players go from this club.

“There was a time when we had to take that money, well we haven't had to take that money. There is no need to take that money so we could keep players here and keep them competitive with our group.

“That's probably the strength that's been achieved here over the years financially where we can't always keep them forever but we can fend off bids if we're being lowballed or they're not good enough."
