Burnley's Sean Dyche plays down talk of Steven Defour moving to China

Burnley boss Sean Dyche insists he has no issue with Steven Defour despite the midfielder intimating he would not be averse to a move to China.

Defour scored a stunning goal in Saturday's 2-0 FA Cup win over Bristol City but expressed some frustration after the game, saying he would "have to think" about any prospective offer.

The 28-year-old moved to Turf Moor in a £7.5 million deal from Anderlecht in the summer but has previously expressed disappointment with his relative lack of game time.

Dyche said: "I've only just found about his comments but they've got to say something and we all know the realities -- they put one word out of place and people try to make a story out of it.
