EXCLUSIVE: Burnley set to make U-turn on future of midfielder Scott Twine as player impresses new boss Scott Parker with Hattrick in friendly

New Burnley boss Scott Parker is reportedly impressed with playmaker Scott Twine following interest from multiple Championship clubs.

Twine, 25, was loaned out to Hull and Bristol City last season and was expected to leave Burnley after making just 18 senior appearances in two years for the Clarets. Bristol City are said to be interested in re-signing the playmaker, while Sunderland and Birmingham have also been credited with interest.

Yet Sky Sports reporter Ron Walker has suggested Twine could still play a part for Burnley this season, after scoring a hat-trick in a behind-closed-doors friendly this week. 

Twine signed for the Clarets in 2022 for a reported fee of £4million. He scored four goals in 25 league appearances for Hull last term, before making ten appearances for Bristol City in the second half of the last campaign.

Burnley appointed Parker as their new head coach earlier this month after Vincent Kompany moved to Bayern Munich and the former England midfielder is said to have been impressed with Scott Twine so far and the midfielder could now be set to play a part in the Clarets push for promotion next summer.

It was expected that the young midfielder would go out on loan in the 2024/2025 season but a U-turn on that decision now seems likely as the player could now be given an opportunity to prove himself in Scott Parker new look side.
