Nicky Hayen provides Burnley transfer update on the eve of new season Nicky Hayen provides transfer update on the eve of the new season Nicky Hayen admits Burnley are in need of an injection of quality before the summer transfer window closes. We’re now into the final month of the window, which closes at 11pm on Tuesday, September 1. To date, Burnley’s business has predominately been dominated by outgoings, with several players moving on following last season’s relegation from the Premier League. On the incoming front, Ugo Raghouber and Lluc Castell have arrived from Lille and Espanyol respectively, while Ashley Barnes has returned for one final year after becoming a free agent at the end of last season. With the season getting underway on Saturday with a Carabao Cup tie against Notts County, there’s still plenty of business to be done.

Hayen, however, insists the club are working tirelessly behind the scenes to get the right players on board. When asked if he expects many changes to the squad between now and the end of the window, the new Clarets boss said: “We're busy behind the scenes with other players also. “We want to improve our team, that's for sure. We can also use some quality. But we're busy behind the scenes. “Of course, you want as a manager that these players come as fast as possible. But you have a market and sometimes you have to be patient. Sometimes you can rush some things. “For example, with Ugo, you see that he's actually an asset for the team. He still has to adapt a little bit to the tempo, but you see that he has quality. “Step by step, we want to make this step forward.”
