Boyd has been a virtual ever-present for Burnley missing just one game so far this season and he is a key member of Sean Dyche’s side.

The 31-year-old helped Burnley win promotion to the Premier League by winning the Championship title last season and he has instrumental in helping Burnley to the heady heights of 10th spot in the Premier League this term.

Boyd is widely regarded as one of the fittest players in the league and records revealed earlier this season that Boyd was actually the hardest working player in the Premier League as he covered more ground than any other player in England’s top flight.

Boyd, who joined Burnley from Hull City in the summer of 2014, has made close to 600 appearances in his career and he is seen as one of Burnley’s most consistent performers.

Burnley are expected to hold talks with Boyd over a new contract, but news that no new deal has been discussed at the moment has alerted clubs in the Premier League, Championship and abroad who are ready to make a move for the winger.
