Sean Dyche discusses how Burnley will use Wout Weghorst

Sean Dyche discusses how Burnley will use Wout Weghorst

Burnley manager Sean Dyche has spoken about how the club will use Wout Weghorst.

The new signing made his debut for the Clarets against Watford, and then featured in the match with Manchester United, which saw the team pick up consecutive draws.

However, the 29-year-old has yet to find the back of the net for Burnley, although he did pick up an assist against the Red Devils, making his mark on the fixture.

"Different kind of player, different skill set, that is what we are looking to use, we want to play into him and up to him more, because he is technically a very good player," Dyche said on Weghorst being compared to Chris Wood.

"We still want to use his size and get good quality into the box, which was probably my biggest bugbear on Saturday, we didn't get enough quality into the box. But he can play and link play and that gives us another way of playing, particularly around the box, he's clever around the box."

Burnley will be back in action on Sunday when they face Liverpool in the Premier League.
