Nicky Hayen on the chances of Burnley adding to squad ahead of West Ham Nicky Hayen hopeful of additions ahead of Burnley’s league opener Burnley have offers tabled for prospective new signings as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of their Championship opener. While the Clarets got their season up and running with a penalty shootout cup win over Notts County at the weekend, their league campaign doesn’t kick off until this Sunday. Nicky Hayen’s side begin the season with one of, if not the most difficult fixture possible as title favourites West Ham come to Turf Moor. While Burnley were relieved to edge past their League One opponents on Saturday, it was clear they’re still some way off the side they need to be. It comes after Hayen’s men delivered an underwhelming display in their season opener, playing out a 1-1 draw with the Magpies in a game where they struggled to create clear-cut openings.

When asked if he expects any incomings for West Ham next Sunday, Hayen told the Burnley Express: “We're busy with some files. “At the moment we're busy with a few. They're thinking about the offer, but it will be for the upcoming days. “Let's hope that we can finalise one, two, three, maybe 10 before West Ham!” The Clarets have brought in just three new signings so far this summer, in Ben Amos, Ugo Raghouber and Lluc Castell. It’s been far more busy on the outgoings front, with Maxime Esteve, Quilindschy Hartman, Florentino Luis, Lesley Ugochuku, Jaidon Anthony, Luca Koleosho and Loum Tchaouna all moving on.
