Dyche stated to The Burnley Express: “We’re still in the market, we’re still active, and we’re trying and trying, especially on two or three things that are building.
“We want competition, but I made it clear the team last year brought their own competition on with the way they went about their business.
“It’s an important factor, and they certainly this pre-season have looked like they’re willing to do that again, so we’ve been happy with that.”
Burnley have been linked with Nottingham Forest centre midfielder Henri Lansbury in recent weeks, as they look to continue their preperation for the season.
