Rivals track Robertson and Tymon as Hull face drop

PREMIER League clubs are already circling around Hull City’s players in anticipation of their relegation, with Stoke City looking at Scotland international defender Andrew Robertson and 17-year-old Josh Tymon attracting interest from West Ham.

Despite improving under Marco Silva, the Tigers are still three points from safety and likely to prune their squad even further following the January departures of Robert Snodgrass and Jake Livermore.

Robertson, 23, is a potential target for Stoke, who are looking to sign a left-back to provide competition for Erik Pieters, and are also keeping an eye on Charlie Taylor, of Leeds.

LINCOLN CITY are back on track for promotion to the Football League after going top of the National League with a 3-1 win over their closest rivals, Forest Green Rovers.

The FA Cup giant-killers trailed to a Christian Doidge goal, but Lee Angol, a Marcus Kelly own goal and a Sam Habergham free-kick turned things around for Lincoln, who still have three games in hand on Rovers.
