SEAN Dyche insists his phone will always be on this summer as he tries to add to his Burnley squad.

The Clarets boss will enjoy a break before Burnley return for pre-season training in the first week of July, but he admits that even when he's on holiday he will be keeping an eye on his phone.

It could be another busy summer at Turf Moor, with chairman Mike Garlick indicating last week that he expected the club to spend more than the £32million they have splashed out this season, which included three record signings in Steven Defour, Jeff Hendrick and Robbie Brady.

There could also be departures, with Michael Keane likely to leave as the battle to land his signature intensifies.

So while Dyche will try and enjoy a holiday and a rest after guiding Burnley to back-to-back Premier League seasons for the first time since 1975, he admits he will have to keep a close eye on his phone, wherever he is.

"It's a break of sorts, every manager will tell you the phone is always on, you maybe park it during the day and check it in the morning and at night, when you're on holiday, but when you're here, it's on all the time," the Clarets chief said.

"It's just the way it is. When you're not market leaders, you have to try and keep every line of communication open, take every bit of information seriously, even stuff that gets thrown at you from left field, you still have to check it out.

"That's the next challenge, not just adapting this side to go into next season, but adding to it where we can."

Dyche is expecting another difficult market this summer as he bids to strengthen the ranks at Turf Moor.

Burnley had to be patient a year ago, concluding key deals late in August in a summer window that saw the £1billion mark shattered for the first time, with 13 of the 20 Premier League clubs breaking their transfer record.

The Clarets chief accepts recruitment this summer is once again going to be a major factor in how Burnley compete in the Premier League next season, and Dyche said he was still learning about life in the top flight and what was required and how he could push his squad further.

"You're learning all the time, adapting, looking at the players, what can we do next?," Dyche said. "How can we mould it, stick roughly to what we do but mould it differently and come away from it and add to it.

"Recruitment is a massive thing, very important - it looks to me like it's going to be a tough market.

"It was last year, so that's going to be important. And that's not necessarily to keep replacing people, you want that competitive element all the time.

"You get that from inside your group, but you want those fresh faces and that competition keeps building, and pushes players on."
