Burnley manager Sean Dyche , in today's earlier news conference, said that there is nothing he can do to stop other managers coveting his players.

Defender Michael Keane has attracted interest from the likes of Chelsea, Everton and Leicester but now striker Andre Gray, who has 18 months left on his contract, is said to have piqued the interest of Mauricio Pochettino and Tottenham.

"It's a very different business from 10 years ago. I heard another manager the other day speak completely openly about someone else's player...I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

"I thought if that was on a phone, it would be an illegal approach. The way it is now, it's just people throwing names around willy-nilly about who they want, who they can get, what their contract situation is.

"It's not a private business any more. It's just out there. You have to adapt to it and be flexible within it. It's all you can do."
