Burnley have made an improved £6million bid for Jeff Hendrick - but it will still not be enough for Derby.

Derby dismissed out of hand Burnley's opening £3.5million offer for the Republic of Ireland Euro 2016 hero.

The Clarets have returned with an increased bid and boss Sean Dyche feels Hendrick can replace Joey Barton at Turf Moor.

But the Rams do not want to sell the midfielder and value him at much higher than £6million.

Meanwhile, Burnley defender Ben Mee has signed a three-year deal.

The defender, who had one year left remaining on his current deal, made 49 appearances last term.

He said: “It’s brilliant and I’m delighted to extend my stay here at Burnley.

“After such a great season last year, and getting married in the summer, things just keep getting better and hopefully it will improve even more.

“I feel comfortable and at home here and we’ve been chatting for a while. Obviously it’s been a busy summer, so it was something we put on a back burner, but it was always going to get done.”
