Report: Burnley eye Championship duo

Burnley manager Sean Dyche is trying to sign Henri Lansbury and Dale Stephens from Nottingham Forest and Brighton & Hove Albion respectively, according to a report.

Sean Dyche has reportedly identified two Championship players to bolster his Burnley squad ahead of their upcoming Premier League campaign.

According to The Sun, one of Dyche's main targets is Nottingham Forest midfielder Henri Lansbury.

It is believed that the 25-year-old has a £2.5m release clause in his contract at the City Ground, although it will only last for seven days next month to prevent a drawn-out saga from occurring.

The report adds that the Clarets boss has also set his sights on Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Dale Stephens.

It has been suggested that Dyche is eager for Stephens, 26, to fill the void left by Joey Barton, who recently accepted an offer to join Rangers.
