Twine, who was acquired from MK Dons for over £4 million last summer, is returning to the Championship to work for Tigers manager Liam

Rosenior. Hull has been interested in the youngster since last summer, when Burnley prevailed in the competition for his services.

In his debut year at Turf Moor, Twine struggled with injuries, but he still managed to score three goals in 18 games. Rosenior acknowledges that he is

ecstatic to collaborate with the 24-year-old.

I’m beyond thrilled that Scott has joined us, he said, according to the official website for Hull. Based on our reputation, we have prevailed over

numerous elite Championship clubs to get his signatur.

“This signing shows the ambition we have and that we want the best players we can get. He’s someone we’ve waited for, but he’s worth the wait.

“He’s the perfect type of player I want in my team because he completely fits our philosophy. What I love about Scott is his ability to finish actions –

to take shots, convert chances and he’s deadly from set-plays. His personality will completely fit into the group.

“He’s fantastic technically: can take the ball between lines, has got amazing movement, makes intelligent runs, presses well and likes to link and

combine with other players. Scott can play in multiple positions and most importantly, he has end product – an area we identified as one we needed

to improve on for this season.”

Leeds United, Leicester City, and Middlesbrough are in the race to sign Burnley’s Josh Brownhill, reports TEAMtalk.

Brownhill, 27, is now in the final 12 months of his contract at Burnley, and it looks like he could be on the move before September 1st with a number

of teams showing an interest.

TEAMtalk say that Wolves are long-term suitors of Brownhill’s and that they are taking a close look at the midfield. But the same report also adds

that Crystal Palace, Everton, and Championship trip Leeds United, Leicester City, and Middlesbrough are also keen.

Last season in the Championship, Brownhill featured 41 times as the Clarets won the league title, scoring seven and assisting eight more along the

way.

Brownhill has so far racked up 385 career appearances, with many of those coming in the Championship during a four-year stay at Bristol City.

Hot property…

After his impressive last season and given the amount of experience Brownhill has, this amount of interest in the player is unsurprising.

Burnley could get a good fee for him this summer and so it’s understandable that they’d be open to offers given his contractual situation at the club.

And should any of the linked Championship sides land him, it’d be a huge signing. Leeds and Middlesbrough in particular look like they’re in need of
new additions after tough starts to the campaign, but Brownhill would also be a good shout for Leicester.

And the Foxes have started very positively, so for Brownhill, that could be the most attractive move should he opt to return to the Championship.

Still, expect the lure of the Premier League to be more attractive, and it looks like Wolves could yet put an offer on the table.

Where Brownhill ends up this summer – if somewhere other than Burnley – remains to be seen.
