Hull have rejected an improved £10million offer from Premier League side Burnley for midfielder Sam Clucas.
The Tigers are determined to keep hold of Clucas after the departure of seven key players already this summer, and were reported to have turned down an initial bid for the 26-year-old last week.
A Hull spokesman confirmed to Press Association Sport that Burnley's latest approach had been rebuffed.
Clucas, a shining light for the Tigers last season as he played in all but one of their Premier League matches, had previously been linked with West Brom, who now appear set to sign Gareth Barry from Everton.
