Watford boss Silva eager to trump Burnley for Hull fullback Robertson

Watford boss Marco Silva is eager to trump Burnley for Hull City fullback Andrew Robertson.

The Sun says Silva is ready to pounce for Robertson as Burnley argue over the fee.

The Clarets have been bickering over how the £8 million is paid for the Scotland defender and that has left the door open for ex-Hull boss Silva.

Robertson is waiting on the go-ahead to speak to buyers after Hull's relegation from the Premier League and is keen on the Burnley switch.

However, talk of Sean Dyche also chasing Leeds' out-of-contract Charlie Taylor has planted seeds of doubt in the mind of Robertson.

His fee and personal terms are within the range of Watford.
