Sean Dyche is keen for Burnley to add to the signings they have already made this summer.

The Clarets boss, who so far has seen two new recruits join his squad since the end of last season in defender Nathan Collins and goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey, says the club are looking at wide attacking players.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference on Thursday ahead of his side opening their Premier League campaign by hosting Brighton on Saturday, Dyche said: “The recruitment side has been a challenge, always is. That’s something I’m used to.

“(There are) ongoing hopes that we can recruit in the areas that we need.”

Asked if the club were closer to adding in attack, he said: “No, we’re not that much closer at the current time.

Meanwhile, Dyche was also asked about his contract situation, with there being a year left on his current deal.

Pace, who became chairman midway through last season when ALK Capital completed a takeover of the club, was quoted this week as saying of a new deal for Dyche: “It is still a priority, but I wouldn’t put it as the number one priority — the window is for now.”

And Dyche said on Thursday: “At the end of the day, I said last season I parked my contract talks because I thought it was important to focus on the team, the team always comes first, including my staff.

“My situation is ongoing, I don’t think there’s anything to it other than making sure things are in place.”

Dyche was then asked about being linked with vacancies at other clubs, adding: “From our varying ups and downs, but generally having successes at Burnley, I’ve been linked to other places before, and I’m still here, I still am.

“I’m still here, I’m still working hard with my staff and my team, that’s for sure.”
