The former MK Dons playmaker has been on City's radar for some time and he is set to join the club early next week on loan.

The Tigers are set for a busy final few weeks of the window, with other active targets including Derby County's Max Bird and Crystal Palace winger Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, with Liam Rosenior also hoping to bring in a new goalkeeping option and another addition on the flanks.

Twine, 24, featured 18 times for Burnley last summer, scoring three goals. His prospects of game-time look limited in the new Premier League season with the Clarets having brought in several new players ahead of embarking on the new top-flight campaign.

Swindon-born Twine was named as League One's player of the year in 2021-22. It earned him a £4m move to Burnley.

Hull have had a comparatively quiet close-season so far, bringing in just four senior players.

Former loanee Aaron Connolly has joined on an initial one-year deal, while wingman Jason Lokilo has also joined.

Loan duo Liam Delap and Ruben Vinagre have also linked up with the club.
