New deals for Burnley duo

Burnley have handed Jay Rodriguez and Chris McCann new deals and could add Reading defender Andre Bikey to their squad ahead of Saturday's opener at Stoke.

Homegrown striker Rodriguez, 20, and highly-rated midfielder McCann, 22, have penned two-year contracts with the Barclays Premier League newcomers.

However, Clarets boss Owen Coyle refused to be drawn on speculation linking the Clarets with a £2.8million move for Cameroon international Bikey, and said: "There are a number of players out there who I believe could enhance the squad. Time will tell if the aforementioned player is one of them."
