Burstow has been among a number of Tigers fringe players who the club have been trying to move on this summer alongside the likes of Kasey Palmer, Abu Kamara, Enis Destan, Abdus Omur, Thimothee Lo-Tutala and David Akintola.

Burstrow joined Hull just under two years ago from Chelsea.

He penned a four-year deal at the MKM Stadium, with a club option of a further year - but found it difficult to make real headway in East Yorkshire.

Greenwich-born Burstow signed for Charlton Athletic from Welling United as a second-year scholar in October 2020 and scored with his first touch in professional football the following August.
