Burnley boss Owen Coyle expects to make only a couple of signings in the January transfer window, with the Clarets having started well on their return to the English top-flight.

Coyle's side currently stand in tenth place in the table, with five wins from six Premier League games at Turf Moor the major factor in their relatively lofty position.

That state of affairs means that Coyle is in no rush to make major changes to his squad.

He told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph:"We really have to weigh it up and decide what's the best way forward for us, given in terms of the Premier League we don't have a great big squad in terms of numbers.

"That won't be significantly added to in January, but it might be that we get one or two in to help us to give us a bit of freshness.

"We're always looking ahead but, like anything else, we won't know because between now and January things will crop up and different situations might arise.

"But what we will do is make sure we do our work and preparation for that for when it comes about."
