Dyche: Dwight Is A Top Talent

Sean Dyche has hailed Dwight McNeil as one of the unsung young guns in the Premier League.

England U21 wide man McNeil put in another eye-catching man-of-the-match performance in the Clarets’ home defeat to Chelsea last weekend.

And Burnley boss Dyche believes the flourishing 19-year-old is already showing a consistency that makes him one of the top young talents in the top-flight.

The gaffer said: “I keep hearing all these stories about the other young men rolling around the Premier League – and rightly so.

“Dwight doesn’t get many mentions and I quite like that in a way because he keeps learning and keeps improving, but I will tell you, he is right up there, for me.
