Burnley manager Sean Dyche has responded to reports he had bids rejected for Hull's Sam Clucas and Leeds forward Chris Wood

Burnley manager Sean Dyche says he is looking into the European market for a replacement for Andre Gray.

Burnley sold Gray to Watford last week for £18.5m and have been linked with Leeds striker Chris Wood and Deportivo's Florin Andone to replace him.

Sam Vokes filled the void of Gray by scoring two goals in Burnley's 3-2 victory over Chelsea last Saturday but Dyche is still looking for another striker.

Dyche wouldn't confirm his interest in the Romanian forward Andone but did confirm he had been monitoring players in Europe.

He said : "We haven't got the support (scouting system) as some of the big clubs so when we do go into Europe it is important we have as much information as possible.

"There are certain situations we do have information on and there are certain situations we look at."

"We want to be private and confidential as best we can about our business. It's very rare messages come out of our club," added Dyche.
