As per a report from Football League World, Hull City’s star winger Mallik Wilks is attracting interest from Burnley.

The former Leeds United and Barnsley man has been in thoroughly impressive form for the Tigers over the course of the 2020/21 campaign.

Across all competitions, Wilks has chipped in with 20 goals and three assists in 41 games this season.

The 22-year-old’s 17 League One goals have helped Grant McCann’s side climb to the summit of the table after 37 games as they look to make an immediate return to the Championship.
