No Dempsey discussions

admin

Dempsey, 19, linked with Barnsley last month, is a reported target for Premier League side Burnley.

But while Curle recently agreed with Burnley boss Sean Dyche to extend Clarets defender Tom Anderson’s loan spell at Brunton Park, Dempsey did not enter the discussion.

“I spoke to Sean Dyche last week about Tom Anderson and I’m sure if there was any interest in any of our players he’d have mentioned it then,” Curle told Talksport.

“I’ve had no conversations or approach so we can put that one down to rumour-mongering.”

Dempsey made his first-team breakthrough at the end of the last campaign and has scored five goals in 21 appearances this season.
