Burnley boss Owen Coyle has confirmed that the Premier League new boys have made an enquiry about Reading's Cameroon defender Andre Bikey.

The 24-year-old has been with the Royals for three seasons, but Coyle was keen to stress that Bikey is just one of a number of players being sounded out.

He told the club's official website: "I have made an enquiry, but he is one of a number of players we have made an enquiry about.

"I made it to Reading and that is in the public domain for whatever reason, but we will have to see how that goes.

"If we were going to be talking about every player we had been linked with, or made a general enquiry about, then it would get quite tiresome.

"There are a number of players who we feel could enhance our squad and time will tell whether the aforementioned player is one of them."

Meanwhile, Clarets duo Jay Rodriguez and Chris McCann have both put pen to paper on new two-year contracts at Turf Moor.

Twenty-two-year-old midfielder McCann and striker Rodriguez, 20, have signed deals running until the summer of 2011.
