Burnley boss Sean Dyche believes Lukas Jutkiewicz has plenty to offer in the Premier League.
The 25-year old striker joined the Clarets from Middlesbrough in the summer following a decent loan spell with Bolton in the second half of last season.
Jutkiewicz's goal tally in the Championship is just 36 from 155 outings for Coventry City, Boro, Bolton and Plymouth Argyle but Dyche feels he has the quality to deliver for Burnley in England's top flight.
"We thought he was a good player anyway and we think there is more growth in him as a player," he said.
"I think there are good signs of that. Eventually with strikers people look at their goals but there has to be more to it, particularly with modern strikers.
"You very rarely see strikers now who do nothing other than score a goal. There are a couple out there but not many. Striking players have become more team orientated, especially off the ball.
"The tactics of defending off the front have changed massively and I think there's development in his game all round.
"He is enjoying it so far. He is enjoying the environment and he is certainly delivering positive performances for the team.
"We have always felt there is more to his game than just being a big man and he has certainly shown signs of that.
"He has been around a bit but he's still relatively young in terms of learning his game in his entirety and the role of the striker."
18th-placed Burnley next take on 15th-placed Sunderland at Turf Moor on Saturday in what will be Jutkiewicz's fifth outing for his new club.
