BURNLEY are likely to need one or two additions to their squad for their First Division campaing.
And while there has been no transfer market activity yet, names that have had an airing, along with Bury midfielder Nicky Daws, include Fulham's former Sunderland skipper Kevin Ball and Luton Town striker Phil Gray.
However, there aren't thought to have been any approaches from the Clarets for any of the trio who are all likely to be available during the summer.
Daws has made it known that he is looking to play First Division football next season and Bury have confirmed that they will listen to offers for their longest-serving player, an integral part of the Shakers side that won successive promotions under Ternent.
However, while a move to Turf Moor would appeal to Daws, the 30-year-old is under contract and won't be going anywhere until Bury have received an acceptable offer.
Ball, a £250,000 signing from Sunderland last December, is also under contract but may be allowed to leave Craven Cottage following the appointment of Jean Tigana as manager.
The 35-year-old ball-winner has played his entire career in the top two divisions and would be a steadying hand if someone else was to offer him the chance of more regular first-team football.
Meanwhile, Northern Ireland international Gray is out of contract at Luton and the 31-year-old striker, whose goal at Turf Moor in March was one of 10 he scored following the turn of the year, could be on the move with Luton boss Lennie Lawrence having to work within a restricted budget.
Gray plans to speak to Luton first about a new offer but following Steve Davis and Mitchell Thomas to Turf Moor would be an attractive prospect for the former Spurs and Sunderland forward if Ternent was to look in his direction for striking reinforcements.
