Hull have rejected a £5million offer from Burnley for Sam Clucas.
Clarets boss Sean Dyche is wasting no time in trying to spend the money recouped from the £18.5million sale of Andre Gray to Watford.
Clucas, 26, was a bright spark for the Tigers last season despite their relegation from the Premier League.
Clucas has been transformed from a winger to a holding midfield player in the past 12 months and England boss Gareth Southgate has sent scouts to check on him and team-mate Harry Maguire, who joined Leicester in a £17m deal this summer.
