Could Luis be a good signing for Hull?

Former Burnley winger Glen Little says Hull City transfer target Florentino Luis is “confident in himself” as a player but could “find it tough” if the Tigers are in a relegation battle this season.

BBC Radio Humberside’s Mike White recently reported that the Clarets may be willing to sell the defensive midfielder for £15m plus add-ons to get a sizeable wage off their books.

“He was quite promising in the early days of being at Burnley,” Little said. “He is good at getting on the ball in midfield, having that composure and being comfortable in possession.

“My worry with him was that it is alright being a good footballer in the Premier League, keeping things ticking over, but what would happen if things started to become a bit of a struggle? That’s exactly what happened last season with one win in six months.

“By the end of last season, all of Burnley’s players were beaten up. It wasn’t just him but if Hull City were to struggle like Burnley did, he might find it tough going through it all over again.

“He might start thinking: ‘What have I done to deserve this? I’ve come into English football and hardly won a game!’ But if Hull City do alright, he will look a good player.

“It would be a shame if he does go because he would be a really good player for Burnley in the Championship.

“I suppose it will all depend on the season Hull City have. If they come up and do alright, he will be a good signing. If they don’t, it will be a struggle for all the players including him.”
