- 32-year-old may find opportunities limited after arrival of Josh Tymon
- Burnley manager Sean Dyche is looking for three or four new acquisitions
Burnley are discussing a £2million move for Stoke City defender Phil Bardsley.
The 32-year-old former Manchester United and Rangers full-back made just 17 appearances for Stoke last season and may find opportunities similarly limited this season following the arrival of Josh Tymon from Hull City.
Scotland international Bardsley can cover both full-back positions and Burnley manager Sean Dyche wants to add three or four new signings.

Burnley have brought in Leeds United left back Charlie Taylor, forward Jon Walters from Stoke City and Swansea City midfielder Jack Cork.
Dyche is still in the market for a winger, a defender and a third-choice goalkeeper with Shay Given among those being discussed.
Dyche said: 'I’ve been really pleased with the signings. We’ve got some good business done early, which is very difficult. We’re still looking.'
