Clarets' Armstrong bid rejected

Burnley have had an offer turned down by Dundee United for midfielder Stuart Armstrong.

Manager Sean Dyche does not now expect to pursue a deal for the 22-year-old, with Celtic also reported to have had a bid turned down.

Dyche is still hoping to add to his squad before Monday night's deadline and has several irons in the fire.

He said: "Different offers have been in for players. One's been rejected today.

"He was more of a development style player in our world - a good young player we think who could learn with us. That won't happen now, by the looks of things.

"We've had offers in for more recognised players that haven't got over the line at the moment, but we'll see where that takes us."
