SEAN Dyche is pleased with the balance he has struck with his strikeforce this summer, and Nahki Wells could be the final piece in the jigsaw, at least until January.

Burnley are poised to land the 27-year-old in a £5million move from Huddersfield Town ahead of today's 11pm transfer deadline.

And should the deal go ahead, Wells would be expected to compliment the Clarets' current power and precision with pace.

It was felt in some quarters that following the departure of quick-footed Andre Gray, the acquisition of Chris Wood overloaded the front men with brawn, allied to Sam Vokes, Ashley Barnes and summer signing Jon Walters.

But manager Dyche believes Wood gives a different dimension to the Clarets, and suggested he could have even more options after the window.

"I think he adds to the quality of the squad, particularly with the loss of Andre," said the Burnley boss of Wood.

"They’re different in style. Woody’s probably slightly more rounded in his play, with what he can offer the team’s performance, whereas Andre’s got certain weapons that are very powerful on any given day. I like both players for different reasons, but we think Woody’s maturity as a player is an important part of it. There’s still development in him, but I think he’s rounded a bit more now. He’s 25. He’s been around a few different clubs and a few different situations at the top two levels, not quite getting regular football at the top level at Leicester, but had moments within it. I just think he’s a good player for us at this time.

"He’s another healthy player who does add to the group."

Of the possibility of further signings, Dyche added: "I think there are others out there we have a possible chance on, that would also do that. And it’s always to continue the building process of the group.

"There are no guarantees. But you’ve got to align any given club with players you think can do the job now but also ones who can continue to learn and develop."
