‘Turn that down’ – Many Hull City fans react as Norwich City interest emerges in 21-year-old | OneFootball

Norwich City are keen on Hull City defender Jacob Greaves, as per a report from David Burns of BBC Humberside on Twitter.

The 21-year-old has been an integral part of Hull’s relatively solid defence thus far, with the centre-back forming an excellent partnership with fellow young defender Di’Shon Bernard.

Greaves has played every minute of Hull’s Championship campaign thus far, helping his side to three clean sheets in their last three games, and six clean sheets in the 19 second-tier matches thus far.

Burns’ tweet also suggests that if Norwich were to firm up their interest in the talent defender, then there would be a ‘buy and loan-back deal’ struck between the two clubs.

Despite sitting near the bottom of the table, Hull have been relatively solid in defence, with only 10 clubs in the division conceding fewer goals than The Tigers.

As the tweet says, it will be no surprise to see half of England’s top tier with an interest in the young defender.

His defensive capabilities, coupled with his ability on the ball and composure, makes him an excellent option for Premier League clubs to consider.

He is a player that has adapted to the challenge of Championship football very well, and it would be no surprise to see him starring in the Premier League very soon.

Hull will be hoping that if they were to sell him, that they do agree a ‘buy and loan-back deal’ given his current importance in the Hull side, during a season where they are expected to be fighting for survival.
