Burnley boss Sean Dyche is hoping Danny Ings can rediscover his match focus.
Dyche admitted after last weekend's defeat at Sunderland that the England Under-21 striker looked as though he had been distracted by the transfer talk.
He said: "Danny's a big player in Burnley but there's a long way to go until you're a really big player, and he has now gone onto a different level of learning.
"If your journey is to play at the super top elite levels then you are going to have deal with a lot. If you're Lionel Messi, you are scrutinised constantly every inch of your life.
"The signs are that Danny is going to let his contract run down. He's a young player who has a decision and it will naturally unfold."
