Burnley's new Head of European Recruitment Ian Butterworth has confirmed he has been asked to look abroad for transfers this summer.
Sounds like a good job!
Celtic defender Jozo Simunovic is attracting attention from Premier League sides Newcastle United, Huddersfield Town and Burnley.
The 22-year-old has been impressive at Celtic and has developed further under Brendan Rodgers since seeing a move to Torino fall through last summer.

Local press reporting today that Long looking forward to kicking on from last season with Burnley so if anything happening , Long doesn't know about it.
Maybe the Bedlington Terrier has heard something

I thought this might be a thread about the rumour I was about to share with you, but his name hasn't even been mentioned so evidently not!
I have heard on the grapevine you want to sign Kevin Long from us.
He's actually been at Burnley for ages (Owen Coyle signed him), but has barely had a kick in that time but has had several very successful loan spells and got a couple of games at the end of last season due to injuries to Keane and Mee. He's recently broken into the full ROI team (started yesterday), but is not thought to have much of a future here.
Not sure if loan or permanent, but the guy who told me yesterday is someone who has been a decent source of info over the years, albeit with a few that didn't pan out.
Garlick says we need to be patient, so looks like it will be quiet on here for a while

I believe Keano will stay this season and develop himself into the best and most sought after centre half in the Premiership. He and his agent will have worked out that staying with Burnley for this year will provide him with a huge financial windfall come Jan or next Summer.
A huge signing on bonus for one of the top clubs will easily recover and exceed any salary earnings in his final year. Not only that, he wants to play football for his England place security.
As for Boyd, a real dilemma. We really need someone with more pace and creativity this year and whilst there is no doubt of his effort and commitment, SD recognises that. If I was Boyd, I'd sign and trust in his own ability. If he thinks he's not up to the challenge, he will have many teams prepared to offer a two year deal, albeit, not in the big boys league.
If he leaves, he goes with my thanks and best wishes for being part of an outstanding group of players that brought great times back to the Turf.
Stories claiming Burnley have offered a club record £15m for Hull City left back are wide of the mark. While the club have retained their interest in the Scotland international full back, speculation suggesting an offer has been made is jumping the gun. Burnley have not returned with a fresh bid for the 23-year-old since having a £10m offer accepted by the Tigers in January, only for then Hull boss Marco Silva to block the switch.
