Dyche keeps ‘open mind’ on Arfield

Burnley manager Sean Dyche says that the future of Scott Arfield remains in doubt with the midfielder yet to sign a new contract at Turf Moor.

Arfield has six months left on his current deal and is reportedly attracting the attention of a number of the Clarets’ Premier League rivals, including tomorrow’s opponents Crystal Palace.

Dyche said: “We have had talks with him and he has sat tight on an offer so we will keep an open mind and we will see what comes next. Scott knows where it all stands and he knows the club’s situation. He’s been a very, very good player for us and he continues to be.”

Arfield is set to miss Burnley’s trip to Selhurst Park with a minor knock.

Meanwhile, Dyche confirmed that winger Georges-Kevin Nkoudou is set to make his Burnley debut tomorrow after signing on loan from Tottenham until the end of the season.
