Hull City inching closer to sign Man City’s Finley Burns

The Tigers have agreed on a move for Manchester City academy graduate Finley Burns, who is set to join the Championship club on loan for the duration of the new season.

The 21-year-old defender, who has two years left on his Man City contract, has been identified as the direct replacement for former Hull City centre-back Jacob Greaves who joined Ipswich Town this summer.

The highly-rated Manchester City centre-back is set to undergo a medical on Humberside tonight ahead of the proposed move.
