Burnley eye Mohamed Simakan in £15m transfer after troubled window saw them miss out on Craig Dawson.
The Clarets scouts have backed an offer for the 20-year-old Strasbourg star, who has emerged as their favourite defensive target for the next window.
AC Milan tried to buy Simakan in the final days of the summer transfer window, while West Ham considered him as a £9m investment signing.
Dyche had various disagreements with his staff and owner Mike Garlick that disrupted plans.
Disputes within Turf Moor were behind the failure to sign Watford defender Craig Dawson, 30, who joined the Hammers on loan.
Dyche did manage to hold onto James Tarkowski throughout the window though, despite bids of as much as £30m from West Ham and Leicester.
The Clarets knocked back all offers for the 27-year-old, who still has two years of his contract remaining.
Dyche was full of praise for the centre-back - who could now be joined at the club by Simakan, who has so far made 25 appearances for Strasbourg.
He said: "It’s tough for players. They have a lot of noise around them, even more so than ever, certainly way more than in my day, although I was no good!
“They’ve got media streams, social media, rumours, conjecture all going on all the time. So it’s more difficult for players now, I believe.
Alan Nixon, knows more about what goes on at Burnley FC than this entire msgboard put together, Simakan will be on our radar, you can trust our Al, he knows the time of day, best informed footy journo there is.
From Strasbourg to Burnley? No chance.
Sean knows what kind of players he wants to man the trenches, from experience he wants British and Irish lads and preferably white.
(Just strapping the tin hat on!) Incoming snowflake/PC/woke fire.
Don't think Sean gives a FF for their skin colour BT, I do think he likes players who can speak his language, and can tolerate a miserable, cold, wet Burnley winter.
The transfer window that has just closed indicate that it does not matter what Sean Dyche would like. There is little likelihood of our so called directors giving him the money to fulfil his wish list.
Nahki Wells, Aaron Lennon, Andre Gray, Tendayi Darikwa, Dane Richards, Marvin Sordell, Lloyd Dyer, Josh Ginnelly, Steven Reid, Dan Agyei, Joel Mumbongo, Christian N'Guessan, at Watford, Chris Iwelumo, Prince Buaban, Nyron Nosworthy.
He's signed more black players than you can shake a ****ty stick at BT, sadly most of them didn't play much because most of them just weren't up to much.
