Burnley boss Sean Dyche is convinced Wout Weghorst is an improvement on Chris Wood after his sale to Newcastle.
There was an outcry when Wood's £25million release clause was triggered to join relegation rivals Newcastle but Dyche swooped for Weghorst and the 6ft 6ins Dutchman has impressed against Arsenal and Manchester United before Sunday's test against Liverpool.
"Both are very good players but I think Wout is more technically-minded. He can see pictures with his back to goal whereas Woody was someone who wanted to be in the box and sniff out goals," said Dyche.
"Wout is more of an all-rounder. He can offer varying ways of playing probably because of his experience at Wolfsburg and different clubs.
"On the business side, regardless of Woody having a clause, you'd still go 'it's actually good business' to get that amount of money for a 30-year-old.
"As long as we turn things around for ourselves and Wout continues to play as he is, that's good business as well. He is a top pro who wants to have an effect and is doing."
