English Championship outfit Hull City weighing up move for Motherwell midfielder Chris Cadden
HULL City are weighing up a move for Motherwell midfielder Chris Cadden.
The in-demand winger is attracting interest from a string of clubs in England, with the Tigers understood to be considering a bid before the transfer window shuts.
Cadden, 20 was the subject of an offer from Hearts earlier in the summer, with then Jambos boss Ian Cathro keen to land the Scotland Under-21 cap for a right wing-back role.
However, Fir Park chiefs considered the package to be well short of what they are looking for.
Cadden is rated as one of the brightest talents to have come through Wells productive youth system in recent years.
Contracted until 2019, he will not come cheap but Championship Hull could now test the water.
They consider Scottish football as a hotbed of affordable talent, on the back of their successful signing of Andy Robertson in 2014, and will hope lightning strikes twice.
That deal was said to be worth £2.85million, with the Scotland left-backs rapid progress resulting in his recent £8m switch to Liverpool.
New boss Leonid Slutsky is keen to make his mark at City and reshape their squad to seal a quick return to the top flight.
The ex-CSKA Moscow man is on the lookout for a pacy, technically-gifted wide player like Cadden.
He has cash in the bank following Robertsons move and could further bolster his spending power by selling Sam Clucas to Burnley for £10m.
