Burnley boss Vincent Kompany is adamant his squad are equipped for the Premier League.

Kompany is the youngest manager in the Prem, with the squad the second youngest.

He said: “For me, it's not so much an issue of young or old. This league nowadays you have to have the right profile, you can have as much experience that you want, if you can't run fast, if you're not strong, if you're not able to run all the time - and I'm not saying a lot, I'm saying all the time. You have zero chance in this league.

"Therefore, for us then it's about what we can afford, and we can afford players from that range, that have maybe not so much experience but have really, really good potential.

"We have an exciting team but it's a strategic decision for us to go for players that can grow with us, but they also give you a lot in return because every game I think we've been not only improving but we've been exciting in many ways. For us now, it's to find that final push for results, that's of course a big part of what you have to do in this league."
