Hibs boss Hughes confirms Burnley approach for Fletcher

Hibs boss John Hughes has confirmed Burnley manager Owen Coyle has asked him for Steven Fletcher.

"Owen called to give me the heads up that there's an interest there," said Hughes.

"He asked me about Fletch and I told him he can compete, he's good in the air, quick and when he gets the ball on that left foot he always hits the target.

"Having been travelling on Sunday I need to get up to date not only with what's happening regarding Fletch but a number of things so I'll be meeting the chairman and chief executive to discuss a range of matters."
