Hull City’s David Milinkovic could leave the club in the next few days.
Hull City manager Grant McCann has told reporters how he is trying to move David Milinkovic out of the club ahead of the upcoming European transfer deadline, the Hull Daily Mail report.
“David is the sort of character that wants to play but I’ve got 11 players each week who are disappointed not to be in the team. They all work hard every day to try and get in the team so we’ll try and find David a club to go and play,” McCann explained.
“It’s important that David plays now. He hasn’t played for a year now. He didn’t kick a ball last year. I don’t want to be keeping him in and around the place if he’s not playing games and he gets upset.”
Milinkovic joined Hull on a three-year deal in the summer of 2018.
He had previously enjoyed a spell in the Scottish Premiership with Hearts, scoring six goals in 24 appearances during the 2017-18 campaign.
Milinkovic, 25, can play either as a winger or upfront. However, he struggled for game time at Hull last season as he was behind Jarrod Bowen, Kamil Grosicki and Fraizer Campbell in the pecking order.
Hull’s financial situation means the Tigers are keen to move players on who aren’t featuring on a daily basis, and Milinkovic falls into that category with McCann not viewing his as an important squad member.
The Championship club are also reportedly open to allowing Markus Henriksen to depart the club too. Getting both players off the wage bill will be a big plus, and could allow McCann to strengthen again in January.
