Hull no to Sam £10M

HULL will battle to keep Sam Clucas despite Burnley doubling their opening offer to £10million.

City turned down the initial bid last week and remain unmoved by the Clarets’ latest approach.

Boss Leonid Slutsky is determined to hang on to the midfielder, who has been a regular since a £1.3m switch from Chesterfield in 2015, and insisted the “supermarket was closed”.

Hull want to offer Clucas improved terms as a reward for his progress, but Burnley can dig deep into a transfer kitty swollen by the £43m sales of Andre Gray and Michael Keane.
