Danny Ings has said that he does not want to join a club where he will sit on the bench.
The Burnley striker has been linked with summer moves to Manchester United and Liverpool, as well as Spanish side Real Sociedad.
"One thing I don't want to do is go somewhere and all of a sudden disappear for a while," he told The Independent.
"You don't want to have a good couple of years, come through the Championship, have a good first year in the Premier League and then not play in the Premier League for another year or so because that is a backward step.
"No matter what contract anyone is on, it is important that you are playing football."
Ings has scored nine Premier League goals for Burnley this season.
