Scotland new boy Greg Taylor is wanted by Hull City.
The Championship outfit are long-term admirers of the Kilmarnock left-back, who won his first cap in the midweek defeat to Belgium on Tuesday evening.
Tigers’ head of recruitment Lee Darnbrough is a big fan of the defender and has travelled north regularly to watch the 21-year-old last season.
Hull are currently looking for a new manager after Nigel Adkins decided to step down, although that won’t stop them from firming up their interest.
Darnbrough is key to any transfer activity on Humberside. The problem will come down to Kilmarnock’s valuation.
Hull value Taylor around the £400,000 but Killie know their player’s value is growing by the day and much will depend on whether Steve Clarke’s successor, who has still to be appointed, wants to sell one of his biggest assets.
Celtic and Rangers are interested in the young Scot but they would both need to move left-backs on before they were to come into the equation.
Hull are trying to get their books balanced after over-spending in the Premiership but are prepared to pay fees for young talent who they feel they can develop and eventually sell-on, like they did when they bought Andy Robertson from Dundee United and moved him on to Liverpool £8m.
