Hull City were in the market for an attacking midfielder last summer and they could be set to revisit former targets.
Hull City could be ready to revisit a move for Scott Twine – with the Burnley midfielder apparently ‘giving indications’ that he is willing to join Liam Rosenior’s side.
Twine still managed to score three goals for the Clarets last season after only coming into the first-team fold around the Christmas period, though with Vincent Kompany’s Liam Rosenior’s side burning through the second-tier around that time by equalling the consecutive wins record, it was tough for Twine to find game time.
With the Tigers having signed Ruben Vinagre, Liam Delap and Aaron Connelly this summer, there is a plethora of attacking talent for the Swindon-born star to work with and potentially endure a breakout season in the Championship before returning to the fold for Burnley next season if the likes of Johann Berg Gudmundsson leaves.
Twine was seen as one of Burnley’s marquee signings last summer thanks to his credentials at MK Dons, and Hull would mark a great move for the free-kick maestro.
Scott Twine’s current situation at Burnley?
It’s no surprise that game time would be limited for Twine at Turf Moor in the Premier League this season, with the signings of Zeki Amdouni and Sander Berge offering direct midfield competition, whilst the incomings of Nathan Redmond, Jacob Bruun Larsen and Luka Koleosho means that game time will also be limited on the wings, where Twine can play.
Manuel Benson and Anass Zaroury will likely take the wide roles as things stand, and Josh Brownhill and Johann Berg Gudmundsson are capable of playing in the hole.
Twine did come into the fold at the end of last season in a bid to give him richly deserved game time, and he didn’t disappoint with a skilful volley against Rotherham and a trademark free-kick against Cardiff City on the final day
