Dyche calling on Burnley star Ings to rediscover focus

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."
