CHARLIE Taylor admits it’s flattering to hear boss Sean Dyche talk about him as a potential future England player.

The Burnley left back only made his first Premier League start of the season in the win over West Ham last time out.

The 26-year-old had picked up a groin injury in pre-season with summer signing Erik Pieters making the spot his own.

Even when out of the side, Dyche talked up the former Leeds man though, Taylor looking to kick on after a breakthrough campaign in the top flight last time around.

Now back in the side having impressed off the bench in the defeat at Sheffield United, he will be keen to prove his manager’s talk of international honours is not that outlandish.

"It's nice to hear. I think he has a lot of faith in all the players,” Taylor said.

“It's good to hear that kind of thing from your manager, it shows he has a lot of belief in you as a player.

"I dream about it and as long as you're playing in the top league I suppose you've always got a chance. It's a dream.

"I want to get back in the team here first and play well every week, contribute to the team and start picking up points.

"It's the best league in the world with top, top players in every position so we'll see, but it's hard."

Dyche’s praise for Taylor came when he highlighted Burnley’s increasing habit of helping players into the national side, goalkeeper Nick Pope in Gareth Southgate’s squad for the games against, Montenegro, tonight, and Kosovo on Sunday.

“Now we’re very confidently talking about Burnley players being in the England squad,” the Clarets boss said last month.

“I remember when Tom Heaton got his first call up, it was ‘wow, Burnley haven’t had an England player for however many years’, and now we’re talking about it free and easy, saying, okay, Tom, Keano (Michael Keane), Corky (Jack Cork) got one out of the blue of course, you could argue last season Westy (Ashley Westwood), just if you were going on form, and performances.

“I still think there’s a lot of room and time for Charlie Taylor to go into that thinking, along his development line.

“Erik’s doing well at the moment, but that doesn’t mean I’ve got a lack of belief in Charlie.

“It’s good to say Burnley players are being talked about as freely as we are with the national side, and other international players as well.”
